Walked out on this frozen (very frozen) pond. People were
speedskating around and playing hockey. Just outside of downtown
too-- very cool.

snow!

Woke up to a gorgeous dusting of snow! This was around 7 am, so it's
normal that it's dark. ;-)

The flight to anchorage was beautiful, more pictures later. Gotta get
out and take them while it's still light!

Most of my pictures are blurry from today cause it doesn't get too
bright up here...

proof


proof, originally uploaded by aimos325.

the guy I'm interviewing with said no one would believe I was in
Alaska if I didn't have a picture of the pipeline.

Fact: those things sticking out of the top are radiators to keep the
ground frozen around the supports. Also, the pipe expands and
contracts-- there are teflon sliders under it so it can move freely.
All things I learned today ;-)

Just kidding. It's Detroit. Took this picture before the first

Binder clips for film clips, hair pretties and a pen to hang the film
from and a twist-tie to keep the film from slipping out of the clip.
On the other end I hung a wrench from another binder clip (also locked
on with a twist-tie). Use whatcha got, right!? ;-)

Mindy came out of his cage again today so I snapped a few pictures. I
