Beluga: Day 272


I regretfully didn't photograph any of the spectacular scenery during the ten hour the drive back from Homer to Fairbanks. The Alaska Range is just beginning to pop with fall colors. Once I'm on the road, I just want to keep driving. I was forced, however, to pull over and watch a group of maybe 200 Belugas swimming along the banks of Turnagain Arm on the Seward Highway. I've read that late summer is the best time to see Belugas around Cook Inlet, as they come in to feed on the salmon runs. Honestly they're not much to look at when they surface, but the idea of Beluags is pretty cool. Beats seeing them in a tank.
