Photography-Life in Alaska-Random Thoughts
Photography highlighting Alaska, the most beautiful place on earth.
The Aurora came out to play for a bit late last night/early this morning. Shot between 11:30pm and 2am here in Bear Valley. It was a brisk -10ºF at the time :) Better than the Fairbanks aurora shooters who were getting pictures at -40ºF. The display never really got cranking here in Anchorage, but tonight is supposed to be even stronger, so I'll be watching and waiting.
We got another 8" of snow last night, so at least 16" in the last two days. Everything is buried under a blanket of white fluff and it's beautiful. Now we head for some of the coldest temperatures we've had in a couple of years. Life in Alaska at its best right now :)
After 3 very non-winters, it finally feels like we live in Alaska again. We've got more snow on the ground; they've actually been able to set track at our local cross-country skiing park and we've been able to ski more in the last 2 weeks than we have in total for the past 3 winters. It's the first time I've had to get out the snowblower 2 days in a row since 2013. We're loving every minute of it!
The light and color during sunset this afternoon were amazing. Alpenglow brushing the mountains behind us and the clouds in front were brilliant orange for just a couple of minutes.
This morning about 9:30 am. The Anchorage Bowl is still covered with fog, so this is one of those times when it's nice to be up high.
