Tranquility around water

Tranquility II

Being around a body of water, whether on a lake, river, or ocean, has its share of serene exchanges. Thankfully, as large as Alaska is, it's easy to be immersed in these moments as you become acutely aware of your surroundings. It is important to experience such interactions as often as possible in life, no matter where you are … to gather a renewal of your soul.

When you say to yourself, "it doesn’t get much better than this" … you are in the moment!
