We woke up this morning to the true meaning of an arctic winter.... -35F. Today is a great day to enjoy the relaxing confines of the great indoors doing chores and reading books.
It sounds cold, and it is but beautiful also. The sun rose at 9:50am today and will set at 3:20. It's still a month away from the shortest day with each day getting shorter by about 6 minutes each day. During these shorter days the sun stays low on the horizon providing Alaska with an amazing quality of light most of the day. It's almost like the sun goes right from sunrise straight to sunset without the midday sun.
Who can name the mountain in the background of this photo? Come on now, think... think... Hint: tallest mtn. in AK. This is a photo of Denali taken from our neighborhood yesterday. We can't see it from our house exactly but we do get great glimpses of it while driving through our neighborhood on cold clear days.
