clouds-dark-lightning-1118869 As a photographer I usually only like to use my own pictures for various projects. Sometimes that’s not feasible especially in blogs or websites. Up to this point I have only used my pictures , but I wanted to share a site that I just found, in case you’re not a photographer or need a picture that you don’t have access to. The site is Pexels.com they have thousands of public domain pictures that you can use in your blogs, websites or for other use, all free. Yes free is a good thing. Hope this info helps someone out there.

Misty Fiords National Monument

In SE Alaska about 40 miles East from the city of Ketchikan is Misty Fjords National Monument. It is the second largest wilderness area in the U.S.A. and is composed of 2,294,343 acres. You can either get there by boat, floatplane or a combination of both. Tours usually start about $200 a person, though if you plan ahead and contact the Ketchikan visitors bureau they may have deals going on that they might suggest. Misty Fjords has 3000 foot granite walls straight up out of the ocean. It has long waterfalls. On the trip one can often see whales, mountain goats, deer, eagles and much more.

On the way there is a good chance of seeing Eddystone which is roughly the entrance to Misty Fjords.

Some float plane tours land at the bottom of the granite walls and you can get out onto the plane’s floats, if you choose. If you take a plane, one word of advice, try not to look too much into your cameras viewfinder, as things zip by, or you may be leaving your lunch with the other passengers. Very beautiful, and is highly recommended if you make it to Ketchikan on a cruise or a vacation.
