    It is mid August here in Alaska as the late afternoon sun lights Cook Inlet’s horizon across from Anchorage.

    All is quiet on the Northwestern Front with the ocean waters stilled and a stunning silhouetted Mount Susitna holding sentry.

    A departing Alaska lifeline Cargo Ship departs as the tug that guided it returns to its dock. Concurrently a top heavy barge lopped with a variety of unique vehicles has arrived.

    And for the aerial Show:

    On a mid August Day in Alaska the sounds and sights of US Air Force F-22 Fighter Jets are heard and seen as a trio take turns streaking across the sky above Anchorage Alaska’s scenic Cook Inlet

    This video also captures a mooring tugboat below, cars piled high on a barge, and scenic views of the ocean waters and a mystic Mount Susitna.

    Watch Small Craft Cross Treacherous Cook Inlet Waters as Alaska Train Rolls & Mt McKinley Appears:

    In addition to Mt McKinley a/k/a Denali, its Sister Mt Foraker are seen snow covered on the horizon.

    As an Alaska Railroad Train rolls along the Anchorage shore, a daring small craft crosses the otherwise treacherous Cook Inlet waters.

    The small craft heads toward looming Mt Susitna as the ocean remains still on a stunning clear and calm August Day in Anchorage Alaska.

    WELCOME TO A 3 MINUTE TOUR OF ALASKA'S SCENIC COOK INLET AS VIEWED FROM ITS ANCHORAGE SHORE

    In just 3 Minutes experience a Complete Tour of Anchorage Alaska’s Cook Inlet beginning with a US Air Force AWACS Surveillance Plane circling over its waters to Yet to Re Erupt Mt Spurr Volcano,

    In between see North America’s tallest mountain, Mt McKinley as its snow covered peak looms over the horizon on a crisp August day. Then watch as its sister mountain, Mt Foraker comes into view along with Cook Inlet Tug boats moored along the water’s shore as well as a top heavy barge readying to depart with unique vehicles teetering above the boxed cargo.

    After that close to Anchorage’s Mount Susitna appears in the form of a “Sleeping Lady” with her flowing hair reaching out toward the Snow covered Alaska Range with its volcanos visible until the tallest one , Mount Spurr emerges.

    Travel Guru Rick Steves penned the following after reviewing a New York Times article on the subject of anticipating travels:

    "In summary, planning a trip can be as enjoyable as going on the trip and it definitely enhances it. I’ve never thought of it before but this comment near the end of the article got me thinking:
    “But what about the joy of reminiscing? Doesn’t that also create happiness? Researchers say yes, but anticipating the future delivers more happiness than reflecting on the past.”

    The writer may be on to something. Once I’m back, it’s back to work and a daily routine. There is a 1-2 week stretch where I’m going through photos, talking to anyone that wants to listen about my trip, but it quickly fades into a memory…happy memories, but not the same as the anticipated excitement of the next trip."
