Well, nothing wildly exciting to write about. It continues to be cold, but not nearly as harsh as before. We are back up to about 8 hours of daylight, so that "long dark" thing - not so much. Last weekend we took a short jaunt to a couple of our favorite siteseeing spots in the area just to see how it looks in the winter. Here are a few of the things we saw...
This is from Beluga point, where we saw whales late this summer. No whales now! This lookout is on the Turnagain Arm, and is just a short drive south of Anchorage. The tide was going out when we were there, which was cool to watch. The entire body of water is choked with ice, and the part in the middle was just drifting back out to sea. There were some flat floes of ice, and some big jaggedy ice boulders, that look like the result of being tumbled back and forth with the tides for some time. If you stood and watched for a bit, you could see how fast it was flowing and how much mass of water was moving through. It was pretty good.!
Then we went back to our old favorite, Flat Top, of top of this page fame.
I have a sort of photography project in mind to take some of the same shots in the different seasons or at different times of day and frame them together. I know! But it keeps me out of trouble...as much as anything can.
