Malik Says Goodbye
;)
In October of 1988, three gray whales got stuck in the sea ice not far from Point Barrow. A phenomenal, two-week rescue effort ensued. The world watched tensely as industry and military applied their best brains and highest technology to the rescue, but it was Eskimo hunters with chainsaws who proved most effective. Malik, perhaps the most successful harpooner of his time, bonded with the whales and provided expertise and leadership. In a moment the likes of which had never happened before and likely never will again, the harpooner said goodbye to the whales. The Soviet icebreakers were approaching, shattering the ice before them as they came. Everyone else had left but Malik and me.
I am considering adding a new print from the rescue each month until I get maybe a dozen that highlight the major moments. Or maybe I will make it just this one. I haven't decided for sure.
Big Miracle, a major motion picture and a delightful family film, tells a fictional story based very loosely on the event. This blog tells a true story: the one that happened in front of me.

Walrus on Chukchi Sea Ice
;)
In the summer, usually in early July or late June, the ice breaks away from the shore near Barrow and drifts out to sea with the east wind. When the wind shifts to the west, the ice comes back and brings with it seals, walrus and other animals vital to the Iñupiat of the Arctic Slope.

Eldest Son - Wasilla, Alaska
;)
It was late afternoon in mid-October when I went walking with my son and his dog in Wasilla. For some reason, probably to photograph something, I lingered at the bottom of the hill.
Then I looked up the hill and saw him stepping into the glow of the street light.

Jobe hunts for eggs

Be sure to pass on the right
;)
In India, just like in the UK, the law mandates that traffic drive on the left. So, whenever you see an elephant traveling ahead of you in your direction, be certain to pass it on the right.
This is the highway going north to Jaipur in the state of Rajasthan - the land of kings.
