Alice's ashes

My beautiful grandmother in a beautiful place. Bahia Lapataia is among the most beautiful places in the world and it is located on the end of the southernmost road in Argentinean Tierra del Fuego. The bay is stunning and there are several mountain ranges surrounding the bay and one can see the Cordillera Darwin from the bay. I had imagined for quite a long time what the end of the world in Patagonia might look like but the Bahia Lapataia was more beautiful than anything I had imagined. It had been some kilometers carrying Alice's ashes in my right front pannier and it was emotional to reach a stunningly beautiful place so far south and see the beautiful ocean and the mountains and look out to the sea south and the air was pure and her ashes blew into the wind and then into the sea and it was clear that the gods smiled greatly that day and it was clear that the ocean and the earth and the sky and the mountains thanked Alice for the great life she lived in the 100 years she graced the world.

 Here and the next 7 photos below, Bahia Lapataia.

 I had been carrying these ashes in the right front pannier of my bicycle. The ashes were completely dry, as they were protected in 3 ziplock bags. My uncle Ed had mailed me these ashes several years ago after Alice passed away. Several family members had received her ashes.

 This and the following sequence of photos are of the scattering of my grandmother Alice's ashes.
