Alaska a Day

A New Hampshireite's amateur pictorial view of Alaska each day. Keep in mind, I call myself an idiot with a camera, not a photographer. I’m only trying to show people what I see every day, not make an artistic statement.

A Day Quite Ordinary

After showing some pretty photos from the solstice, I present you with my Monday. Temperatures were around 10 above zero, and on this gray day we had a few flurries during the morning. Life wasn’t all that scenic at work.



10:15 in the morning is still quite dark, not just due to the snow cloud. These flakes fell upon the Facility Service parking lot, and apparently I took a scenic photo of the dumpster for whatever reason. I don’t believe I was all that awake yet.

This feature is a very gray high noon picture of trees on the hill. It stopped flurrying for a bit at that time, but did not improve the looks of things very much.

As a chaser to scenery, here are some luminaries one of the ladies at work made by freezing water in a five gallon bucket. Ice art and ice decorations are pretty popular up here during the winter.

Any candle from tea light sized to a smaller pillar can easily fit in the middle. They look lovely when lit too!

So there’s some real humdrum Alaska for everyone. Other than a lack of sunlight it isn’t all that different from life on the East Coast.

About Me

My photo
Originally from NH, I moved up here in June 07. I always felt like I didn’t quite fit in back east, for some reason up here seems to work out better for me. I’m fairly atypical when it comes to a lot of usual womanly things, yet it works for how life is up here. I miss the ocean since I live in the middle of the state, but the dry climate suits me none the less. At least I don’t feel trapped in an urban setting anymore.
