Alaskan Sunset



It's very cold in Alaska right now.  Up north in Fairbanks they are 
setting a new record for low temperatures for this
time of the year.  Fairbanks has had a tough week of minus 37 below!!!

People are out buying warmer coats and boots.  There is a great 
need to buy gear that exceeds 12 below temperatures to stay warm!!

Definitely no need for air conditioners in Alaska!!

Right now it's 11 degrees in Anchorage, so compared to Fairbanks we are
in the tropics!!!

Nevertheless cold can be beautiful!!!  Enjoy this beautiful sunset overlooking 
Cook Inlet in the warmth of your own home.

When Captain Cook originally sailed in he could only enter the front of the inlet,
because a glacier was in his path.

Stay warm everyone!!

  4. What a beautiful photo Christine!
    Sounds incredibly cold where you are, we are still experiencing quite mild weather here for the time of year, in fact this morning whilst dog walking there were some tree branches with a mix of brown leaves about to fall, green leaves not yet turned, and, believe it or not, BUDS! Nature confused or what??!
    Keep warm!
