Tsimshian Totem Park
With little time to spare, we quickly transitioned to our next adventure - the Tsimshian Totem Park Tour. Our guide for this tour was a local native carver, whose passion for his craft and culture was immediately evident. He welcomed us with a warm smile and began to share his knowledge of totem pole carving, a tradition that has been passed down through generations of his family.
The demonstration began with a detailed explanation of the tools and materials used in the carving process. As he worked on a towering cedar log, his hands moved with practiced ease, chipping away at the wood to reveal intricate shapes and figures. It was mesmerizing to watch as the totem pole gradually took form, each stroke of the chisel bringing new details to life. The carver explained the meaning behind some of the figures he was working on, sharing the stories and legends they represented - from the mighty raven and eagle to the whimsical trickster figures. The totem poles, he explained, were not just art; they were storytellers, record keepers, and cultural icons, embodying the values, beliefs, and histories of the native people.

Glacier Bay from the Norwegian Encore
zhlédnutí 51Před 2 hodinami
As we sailed deeper into Glacier Bay, the scenery grew more dramatic. Towering peaks framed the bay on all sides, their slopes thick with dense forests that seemed to cling precariously to the steep mountainsides. Waterfalls cascaded down in thin ribbons, fed by the melting ice above. The water was a deep, almost mysterious shade of green, reflecting the clouds overhead. The air was crisp, with...

The Great Salt Lake's story begins millions of years ago, long before human eyes gazed upon its waters. It was formed during the last Ice Age, around 30,000 years ago, when the planet was in a state of climatic upheaval. During this period, a vast, ancient lake known as Lake Bonneville covered much of what is now western Utah. As the ice age waned and the climate warmed, the lake began to reced...

Man, you talk too much.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed. I certainly enjoyed visiting your beautiful state :-) Good fishing.
Cool video! Just subscribed to your channel.
This video captures the essence of Taos. We used to live in Angel Fire, and would drive to Taos on Thursdays during the summer just to watch the dancers. They dance like nobody's watching!
If you've never been to Taos Plaza Live you must make it a priority! It's the greatest people watching even in the US :-)
Love this channel :-) Looking forward to fly fishing videos.
