A Peaceful Summer Day in Seward, Alaska

Just a calm, sunny summer day around Seward. It's raw footage. The only thing I added was music, because the wind was loud enough to drown out everything else.

Here's what's in it:

Resurrection Bay and the Alaska SeaLife Center (0:00). It starts out on the water looking back at the SeaLife Center, with the mountains behind it. It's an aquarium, but it also does marine research and wildlife rescue, and it's open all year. Then it turns down the beach toward the mouth of the bay.

Lowell Creek waterfall (1:00). This is the waterfall on Lowell Point Road. It's Lowell Creek coming out of a tunnel that was built through the mountain in 1939 to stop the creek from flooding downtown. I wrote a bit more about that in my Lowell Creek Canyon post.

Downtown (1:30). A quiet street, a couple of people walking, and one of the murals on the side of a building. There are a lot of these around town. Seward calls itself the Mural Capital of Alaska.

Shoreline and bay views (2:00). Rocks, a tree getting pushed around by the wind, a boat going by, and the mountains across the bay.

Waterfront Park (3:00). It ends at Waterfront Park, with the mountain behind town. In summer this whole area fills up with campers and RVs. It looks a lot different in winter.

Clear skies, no rush. That's a good summer day in Seward.
