Leaves around Hidden Lake on the Kenai Peninsula in SouthCentral Alaska are beginning to show autumn colors.

Still waters of Hidden Lake in the evening were perfect for eventide kayaking.

On an island in Cook Inlet, one of the most active (among so many) of volcanoes in the region.

Doesn't it look like it's puffing a bit?

I remember when I lived here in the 60s 70s and 80s, several times while working in a fish cannery on the end Homer Spit, having 7 minutes to evacuate when an Augustine eruption (and accompanying earthquakes, often the only way we knew something was happening) threatened a tsunami. We would run out of the cannery and pile into cars and dash the 4.5 miles off the Spit and up onto the mainland.
