  • Standing 131 meters tall just across from Kyoto Station in Japan, Kyoto Tower is the city's tallest structure. The tower was completed in 1964, the same year as the opening of the shinkansen (bullet train) and the Tokyo Olympics. A viewing platform is located 100 meters above ground with a 360 degree view of Kyoto, and as far as Osaka on clear days. Kyoto Tower stands on top of a typical commercial building with souvenir shops, restaurants, hotel and public bath in the basement. The Kyoto Station (Kyoto-eki) building opened in 1997, built on the 1200th anniversary of the capital's foundation in Kyoto, Japan. Its futuristic design was conceived by Japanese architect Hara Hiroshi (who also designed the Umeda Sky Building in Osaka). The city's transportation hub is served by Japan Railways (including the Tokaido Shinkansen), Kintetsu Railways, the Karasuma Subway Line and a large bus terminal. Kyoto Station has two sides: Karasuma and Hachijo. The busier Karasuma side to the north faces downtown and is named after the main street leading downtown. The main bus terminal is located on the Karasuma side, as are many hotels, shops and Kyoto Tower. The calmer Hachijo side to the south access es more hotels, Toji Temple and some highway bus stops.

  • 2017 statue of William H. Seward (1801-1872) in Juneau, Alaska, USA. As US Secretary of State, William H. Seward oversaw the Alaska purchase, transferred from the Russian Empire in 1867. The City and Borough of Juneau is the capital city of Alaska and the second largest city in the USA by area (only Sitka is larger). This unified municipality lies on Gastineau Channel in the Alaskan panhandle. Juneau has been the capital of Alaska since 1906, when the government of what was the District of Alaska was moved from Sitka. The city is named after a gold prospector from Quebec, Joe Juneau. Isolated by rugged terrain on Alaska's mainland, Juneau can only be reached by plane or boat. Downtown Juneau sits at sea level under steep mountains up to 4000 feet high, topped by Juneau Icefield and 30 glaciers.

  • Crevasses in Mendenhall Glacier. Juneau, Alaska, USA. For spectacular views over Mendenhall Glacier, hike the West Glacier (Mt. McGinnis) Trail 6-9.5 miles round trip, 1000-3200 feet gain, best late May-September. The Trailhead is a half mile from Mendenhall Campground entrance by road. A good trail skirts the northwest side of Mendenhall Lake then climbs through forest to the bare rock along the glacier's west side, where some scrambling and route finding skills are required. Mendenhall Glacier flows 12 miles from downtown Juneau. Mendenhall Glacier Recreation Area is a unit of Tongass National Forest. Mendenhall Glacier has retreated 1.75 miles since 1929, when Mendenhall Lake was created, and over 2.5 miles (4.0 km) since 1500. Since the mid 1900s, Alaska has warmed 3 degrees Fahrenheit and its winters have warmed nearly 6 degrees. Human-caused climate change induced by emissions of greenhouse gases continues to accelerate the warming of Alaska at an unprecedented rate. Climate change is having disproportionate effects in the Arctic, which is heating up twice as fast as the rest of Earth.

  • A rock image by Tom Dempsey is enlarged in two lightboxes at the base of a downtown skyscraper, at SODO Residences, 620 10 Ave SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The building was completed in June 2019 on the site of the historic Alberta Boot Company in the Beltline District. Tom photographed the stone pattern in 2002—“Billion-year-old rock breaks into a jagged pattern in Glacier National Park, Montana, image #02GLA-04-38.” Made of 50 glass tiles, the larger lightbox wraps the building's southeast corner, 19.6 by 8.4 meters (64 feet wide x 27.5 feet high). Made of 30 glass tiles, the smaller lightbox wraps the southwest corner, 16.3 by 3.5 meters (53.6 feet wide by 11.6 ft high).

  • A marmot at National Shrine of St. Therese, 22 miles north of downtown Juneau, in Tongass National Forest, Alaska, USA.

  • Eagle Beach State Recreation Area, Alaska. Three entrances are left off Glacier Highway between mile 26 and mile 27 north of downtown Juneau. First turnoff is camping and cabins, second is the picnic area, and last is the northernmost beach access. Beach combing, photography. The small campground lets you wake up to the sound of eagles picking their way through the tide flats. Low tide opens up around a quarter mile but beware the tide flows back in quickly and quietly. With average tides of 16 feet, these flats hold many morsels of food for wildlife. The best season for eagles and bears is late June to early August when salmon come up the river. Find clams, sea peaches, crabs, other delights. At high tide the birds retreat into the trees, but there is a 1.5 mile loop above the high tide line that winds along Eagle River and across the beach between sand and beach grasses. The access trail connects with the Yankee Basin and Eagle Glacier trails for diversity (old growth forest, muskeg, wetlands, river systems, glacial moraine, tidal flats).

  • For spectacular views over Mendenhall Glacier, hike the West Glacier (Mt. McGinnis) Trail 6-9.5 miles round trip, 1000-3200 feet gain, best late May-September. The Trailhead is a half mile from Mendenhall Campground entrance by road. A good trail skirts the northwest side of Mendenhall Lake then climbs through forest to the bare rock along the glacier's west side, where some scrambling and route finding skills are required. Mendenhall Glacier flows 12 miles from downtown Juneau, Alaska, USA. Mendenhall Glacier Recreation Area is a unit of Tongass National Forest. Mendenhall Glacier has retreated 1.75 miles since 1929, when Mendenhall Lake was created, and over 2.5 miles (4.0 km) since 1500. Since the mid 1900s, Alaska has warmed 3 degrees Fahrenheit and its winters have warmed nearly 6 degrees. Human-caused climate change induced by emissions of greenhouse gases continues to accelerate the warming of Alaska at an unprecedented rate. Climate change is having disproportionate effects in the Arctic, which is heating up twice as fast as the rest of Earth. This image was stitched from multiple overlapping photos.
