Sitka National Historic Park

On a recent trip to Sitka, Alaska I visited the Sitka National Historic Park and photographed a display sign that caught my eye, given recent events in Europe. There was some talk around town about how close Alaska was to Russia. Two islands in the Bering strait owned by the respective countries are only ~2.5 miles apart.

    Not a very comforting sign, given recent events in Europe.

    Nice shot. I think few people realize how close the two continents are.

    Sobering thought...it's hard to imagine Russia turning its eyes this way, but you never know. I remember all the historic Russian influences we saw in Alaska.

    Great shot and information. Current circumstances in the Ukraine put that information board into some kind of perspective.

    I'm glad you shared this with us Terry. I knew how close they are, but this really brings it close to our hearts. I'm looking forward to more of your images.
