Anyone who has been to Alaska will testify to its untamed beauty. Photographer Tim Plowden's visit to the Tongass National Forest in Southeast Alaska and its annual salmon migration struck him with "revelatory awe". He comments: "Witnessing thousands of Pacific pink salmon was a spell-binding spectacle of sight, smell and sound. Their story enthralled me - a final selfless journey". According to Tim his first sighting of the salmon migration was shared with a bearded old man. Possibly intrigued by his fascination, as Tim watched the aquatic scene unfold before him the old man shared insights from his long years as a local fishing guide into the salmon's odyssey. Tim says: "It only intrigued me further and sealed my resolution to pay tribute to this remarkable fish on its last journey back to its natal rivers. Their final resting place".

Sockeye salmon migration, British Columbia, Canada - 05 Dec 2010
Mandatory Credit: Photo by Alex Mustard/Solent News / Rex Features ( 1258158m )
Super Salmon Battle Against The Current
An intrepid British photographer battled the elements to capture on film the biggest salmon migration for almost 100 years.
Alex Mustard bravely withstood strong river currents as he photographed some of the 34 million bright pink fish underwater as they headed home en masse to spawn.
The incredible sight of the sockeye salmon battling their way upstream has baffled scientists, who are shocked at this year's large number of fish.
Amazingly, last year there were only around one million recorded making the 1,000 mile journey.
Underwater photographer Alex, 35, travelled from his home in Southampton, Hants, to British Columbia, Canada, to catch the spectacular phenomenon.
The fish are born in the country's Fraser River System before heading out to the Gulf of Alaska and then returning when they are four years old to spawn before they die.
While in the ocean the salmon are actually a silver colour and only turn pink just before heading back into the fresh water to send a signal to potential mates.
The event happens each year, with a big migration every four years, although the last time so many fish thronged the river was in 1913.
Alex said: "Since I was a child I have taken underwater photographs and this year I thought it would be great to see the salmon migration.
"I flew to Canada, to a stretch of river where most of the fish go. When I got there the sight was incredible - just millions of fish swimming upstream.
"Some people who saw it were in tears, it was actually quite powerful to see the fish heading home to spawn before they die.
"I would stay in the water with my camera for 10 hours each day for over a week with a snorkel.
"It was quite brutal because the current is so strong.

Super Salmon Battle Against The Current
An intrepid British photographer battled the elements to capture on film the biggest salmon migration for almost 100 years.
Alex Mustard bravely withstood strong river currents as he photographed some of the 34 million bright pink fish underwater as they headed home en masse to spawn.
The incredible sight of the sockeye salmon battling their way upstream has baffled scientists, who are shocked at this year's large number of fish.
Amazingly, last year there were only around one million recorded making the 1,000 mile journey.
Underwater photographer Alex, 35, travelled from his home in Southampton, Hants, to British Columbia, Canada, to catch the spectacular phenomenon.
The fish are born in the country's Fraser River System before heading out to the Gulf of Alaska and then returning when they are four years old to spawn before they die.
While in the ocean the salmon are actually a silver colour and only turn pink just before heading back into the fresh water to send a signal to potential mates.
The event happens each year, with a big migration every four years, although the last time so many fish thronged the river was in 1913.
Alex said: "Since I was a child I have taken underwater photographs and this year I thought it would be great to see the salmon migration.
"I flew to Canada, to a stretch of river where most of the fish go. When I got there the sight was incredible - just millions of fish swimming upstream.
"Some people who saw it were in tears, it was actually quite powerful to see the fish heading home to spawn before they die.
"I would stay in the water with my camera for 10 hours each day for over a week with a snorkel.
"It was quite brutal because the current is so strong.
