Oh, how I've missed seeing the Aurora.

Finally got to see some decent aurora for the first time in two years. Last years aurora season just plain sucked in Anchorage because of bad luck with clouds and low auroral activity. This year is supposed to be better. I checked at 2:30am this morning and she really built up quickly. By the time I got dressed and geared up the strongest display was already over. This display only lasted a half-hour or so, but I still managed to get a couple of decent shots above the coastal fog that has been blanketing Anchorage for the past week.

Last motorhome trip of the year to Seward, AK.

We decided to try and get one more long weekend in before we had to winterize the motorhome, so we headed down to Seward for a couple of what turned out to be, gorgeous days filled with dramatic light and clouds, fresh snow on the mountains and fall colors still blanketing the hillsides. We love Seward in the off-season when it’s quiet. Sadly, we didn’t see any whales in Resurrection Bay on this trip. Come along.
