Flyabout North to Alaska

Lake Hood, in Anchorage, Alaska, is the largest seaplane base in the world.

It's home to land and sea planes and the control tower at Ted Stevens International Airport looks after three landing areas - the international runways, Lake Hood and the light aircraft strip near the lake. A very busy place.

The pilot in me loved the planes but I was also in a photographer's Paradise.

This is one of my favourite photos which epitomises the adventurous spirit of Alaska with water, planes and snow-capped mountains.


It makes a great desktop wallpaper. If you'd like this photo for your computer just email me.
