Whittier, AK | Hanlin's Blog
https://hanlintang.wordpress.com/2009/08/16/whittier-ak
August 16, 2009 in Musings. View from Whittier, AK. Fog permeates the quiet port. I imagine that, any second, a pirate ship’s cannon blast will pierce the silence, and a Johnny Depp character will leads a throng of crooked-tooth pirates to raid this sleepy port for vittles. From Whitter, AK we left on a day cruise of glaciers in Prince William Sound. Besides Glaciers Galore, we also happened upon a small raft of otters. Raft of otters in Prince William Sound.

August 20, 2009 in Musings. As I write this, we are steaming southbound towards Ketchikan (for a long overdue itinerary, see this. The clouds are glowing as the dying embers of the sunset recedes below the horizon. The cool evening wafts by as I type this relaxing in a recliner on our stateroom’s spacious balcony.

Alaskan Lou Bien Tan (路邊貪) | Hanlin's Blog

Alaskan Lou Bien Tan (路邊貪). August 17, 2009 in Food. Tracys King Crab Shack in Juneau, AK. My family ordered three King Crab legs, some Crab Cakes, and one Alaskan Crab Roll. King Crab Leg, Crab Cakes, and Alaskan Crab Roll (not shown). King Crab Leg. Aka Food Bliss. I ate so much, I skipped on the entree of our five-course dinner on the cruise ship a few hours later. Alaskan Crab Roll - coleslaw on top, crab meat lumps on bottom, deliciousness all around. 8212; was equally delicious. We wolfed down this...

Dearest Elderly | Hanlin's Blog
https://hanlintang.wordpress.com/2009/08/14/dearest-elderly
August 14, 2009 in Musings. A high school friend once remarked: “I wish I was 70 and retired.” I have always reacted incredulously — who wants to be frail and elderly when there is so much of the world to explore? Our first night, however, we stayed at Princess Wilderness Lodge, a rustic lodge tucked in the Alaskan mountains, within sight of Mt. McKinley, North America’s tallest earthen creation. There I learned to admire age. Rustic lodge with view of Mt. McKinley. A lecture about forestry? Or perhaps t...

Photo dispatches from the front lines. August 16, 2009 in Photos. Armed with my digital camera, I am constantly snapping photos — emptying a battery in the matter of hours. Armored against the cold with gloves and a Princeton beanie, I bravely fight off the winter chill and cold rain to bring you these few amateurish photos.

Alien World | Hanlin's Blog
https://hanlintang.wordpress.com/2009/08/14/alien-world
August 14, 2009 in Musings. As my flight descended below the clouds on approach to Anchorage Int’l Airport, I beheld a view wholly alien and fantastical. Outside my window stretched miles of dark sharp-peaked mountains, barely discernible behind a hazy blanket of clouds. Mordor-like, as if guarding some unspeakable evil. Alaskan Lou Bien Tan (路邊貪).

August 2, 2009 in Musings. Upon discovering this a few weeks ago, I sometimes escape here to work. Something about working here, among air and stone and light, listening to the stirring melody of Ennio Morricone’s. Gabriel’s Oboe,. Reminds me of my undergraduate years perfecting essays in the Carl Icahn. Link: Kogod Courtyard named an ‘Architectural Wonder’. Alaskan Lou Bien Tan (路邊貪). Photo dispatches from the front lines.

Vistas and Vision | Hanlin's Blog
https://hanlintang.wordpress.com/2009/08/11/vistas-and-vision
August 11, 2009 in Musings. This anticipation of my future desire to view the photos I capture begs the question: why do we enjoy vast open visuals? Why are we attracted to visual scenes with dimensions of depth and breadth? I am no expert on visual aesthetics, and am without access to google onboard my flight. In the spirit of speculation however, let me postulate a few theories. The ‘To Stay Alive’ Theory. 8212; You Run. The ‘Change, Yes We Can’ Theory. At the macro-level, the neurons in our brains are...
