This is a photo of Portage Lake on the Kenai Peninsula. It is named for Portage Pass which is to the left at the far end of the lake. Portage Pass was the route taken by miners and before that traders traveling from the Prince William Sound to Turnagain Arm. It was a trip of about 30 miles one way and typically took over 2 weeks. Portage Glacier once filled this valley but now has receded the to right of the far end of the lake. It was visible from this spot until the 1990s.

Change is inevitable in our world. Inevitable and the source amazing beauty.
