In Seward's heart, where wilderness meets gold,
Our spirits soared, in tales yet untold.
Anchored by rugged cliffs and azure tide,
In nature's embrace, we found our guide.
Amidst alpine meadows, a riot of hue,
Wildflowers danced, kissed by morning dew.
Through lens and shutter, we sought to seize,
The essence of beauty, the soul's unease.
In the shadow of peaks, snow-capped and bold,
We traced the footsteps of pioneers of old.
Through Chugach's domain, where wildlife roams free,
Each moment, a masterpiece, for all to see.
With Westerdam's grace, we sailed to explore,
The wonders of nature, the treasures galore.
A journey of wonder, a tale to be told,
In Seward's embrace, our hearts found gold.
