Photography-Life in Alaska-Random Thoughts
Photography highlighting Alaska, the most beautiful place on earth.
The McHugh Creek forest fire is burning about 4 miles from our house. There are two ridges between it and us, so we should be fine, but the wind switched today and the smoke from the fire is filling the Anchorage bowl and Turnagain Arm. I feel like we're living in L.A.
11pm, the sun peeking through the haze of forest fire smoke and clouds on the horizon. The gap lasted less than a minute--just long enough to put fire to the inlet-- and then it was gone.
A hazy, molten sunset tonight. Reminds me of a sunset in the deep south, full of humidity and raw heat, one of those nights you just know it's not going to get much cooler. Luckily that's not the case up here in Alaska. We'll cool down for a nice, deep sleep.
These are the main reason not to go to bed early in Alaska this time of year. The sunsets have been off the charts lately. This was taken at 11:15pm tonight (Tuesday).
