Float Planes in Kodiak Alaska

Bush planes on floats are a common sight throughout Alaska, and in particular, along Alaska’s coastal shores. To travel through Kodiak, one will see float planes in ponds next to residential homes, as well as a number of commercial business that fly people to otherwise inaccessible areas. On a sunny morning, before flying began, I grabbed this shot at the float plane dock on New Island in Kodiak because I liked the vibrant colors of these airplanes in the morning sun.
