Another gorgeous, sunny afternoon.

Felt good to be back out on a sunny day taking pictures.  Still barely any snow on the ground here in Anchorage.  This is the third year in a row where there hasn't been enough to cross-country ski before Thanksgiving.  Last year, we never did get to ski once on the groomed trails, because there never was enough snow the entire season.  No snow is starting to feel like the new normal here. 

The view of the Fire Island Wind Farm from Bear Valley.

Rush hour on Clark's Road.  Bear Valley in the background.

Mount Foraker on the horizon at sunset. 

Foraker, Hunter and Denali at Sunset.  

Maybe it was the souls of Cubs fans heading for Chicago to celebrate :)

A really nice night of aurora after the Cubs clinched the World Series for the first time in generations.  This display started early, around 9:15pm Alaska time and went all night.  The most active display was around 1:30am, with some really nice spikes and a couple of coronas overhead.
