RE: Introduceyourself: My Introduction to Steemit!
Welcome to Steem Block Chain. One of the things I really enjoy about Steem Block Chain is I get to see the world through the eyes of real people and their backyards. I myself do not travel a lot, a lot of the travel blogs on Steem seem to be done by the Professional travel bloggers, the ones that work with the governments, and the corporations, those I tend to completely ignore.
The ones that show real yards, real people, real places in the everyday is what I enjoy. It is not hard to distinguish the difference between a Professional Travel Blogger, and one that is a person that is proud of their home town, country or city, or were those locations that they were really glad they got to travel to and enjoy and take pictures to share with people.
I look forward to the places and locales that you will be taking us through your photojournal.
Thank you so much for the warm welcome @bashadow! I have travelled quite a bit recently, but I still spend a fair amount of time in my small town in the British Columbia interior. BC is a fantastic place with lots to see and experience, and I will be writing about that too!
You seem to enjoy photography as well, and at first glance it appears that the landscape in your photos resemble BC a lot - and then I saw you mentioned Anchorage. Is that where you're from? I visited the city in 2010! What a majestic state!
I live down on the Kenai Peninsula, just outside of Soldotna. Right now we do not have very much snow left at all, and only had our first small snow, then a second large snow fall, (meaning the driveways were plowed).
I like it down here in the country side of Alaska. I have driven through BC a few times, I prefer to drive rather than fly, but I was not much into photography during those days, now I kind of wish I had a good camera back then during those drives. I still want to revisit Kulane Lake one of these days, and take a canoe or paddle boat out on it. (most likely a paddle boat, less chance of swamping it).
Well it sounds like we had more snow than you then. In fact, we just had a big dump yesterday. I went to the Kenai Peninsula too when I visited back then. It was magical. We also went to Deadhorse and drove back to Canada via the Top of the World Highway. Truly magnificent!
