Taken in 2007, when we were on a cruise to Alaska. It was a perfect day to photograph, and as usual, the staff at Butchart had the plantings just right. I especially like the contrast between the yellow tulips and the blue ground-cover behind and below. Looks best when viewed on a black background. Image processed with GIMP.

Scan of a map printed in 1898. Note the areas marked with red, they are the gold fields of the 1898 rush. This map shows Sitka as the capital; it was later moved to Juneau. I have had the pleasure of cruising these passages on the Alaska State Ferry (and a few cruise ships, too). Just some of the maps I have online (for Sunday Challenge too!) PiP for another detail of the Inside Passage area.

Scan of a map printed in 1898. Notice the markings showing "coal" areas. The map was created during the Klondike Gold Rush, so it also shows the gold areas. Note in the upper right a shaded gold area above Telegraph Creek in British Columbia.
