Situated in a scenic valley on a narrow fjord 60 miles southwest of the City of Kodiak, Larsen Bay is at the very center of commercial and sport fishing activity on the island’s west side. Beautiful waterfront lodges lure anglers from around the world for some of the best fishing in the archipelago. The abundance of wildlife near Larsen bay attracts visitors interested in viewing the Kodiak brown bear, seals, puffins, sea lions, eagles and fox in their natural habitat. The village has been an Alutiiq village for centuries and drew nationwide attention in 1991 when the Smithsonian Institution returned the remains of 756 Alutiiq people. Reinterred in a mass grave, the burial marked the largest repatriation of Native remains ever conducted by the Smithsonian. Larsen Bay can only be accessed by air or water.

High Gloss
This past week has been a visual feast- between the new issues of online digital magazines that quickly won our hearts from the moment we clicked past the cover page- to the new glossy premiere issues of what will certainly be new favorites. The premiere issue of High Gloss is no exception.
Besides the above interior images, I especially enjoyed their emphasis on fashion. (Note: those Hicks pendant lights keep appearing, practically taunting me to purchase them.)

Their travel feature was on Napa, and I was fascinated with their take on a location I recently visited (see here). It definitely enticed me to go back to see the amazing shops, wineries, and restaurants I missed.
