Zoom in really close, you'll notce no tan lines

Geez, everyone really does grow a beard when they come to Alaska.

This is the first 5 inches of the 10 we got that night.

This is not the best shot I have of these riverside decorations, but I thought it showed how hard it is to be an amateur photographer on snowy -20 degree nights. Combine the snow throwing off the autofocus, my breath clouding the view and the fact that I wasn't sticking around for a second shot, this is the result. And no, I'm not even breathing hard.

The night-shot feature didn't help me get a good shot of downtown from a footbridge just east of Cushman Street.

From the first day it went below zero, there have been tracks across the Chena River. I have yet to trust it.

Wherever you go, you always find something that reminds you of home. Go Bucs.

Here's a statue for WWII vets near the Chena River. I like the fact that the statues here don't look pristine, but freezing and uncomfortable like the rest of us.
