Winter in Alaska

Since the Thanksgiving holiday has come to an end and Christmas is just around the corner, I thought it would be appropriate to post a few pictures of Alaska in winter time. Nothing makes the holiday season feel closer at hand then snow (for me anyway). Although the temperature has not decided which route to take, above zero or below, mother nature has produced a fair amount of snow that seems to want to "stick" around! I picked a few of the most recent pictures to share.


This picture was taken in Eklutna, just a few miles north of Eagle River. A big fishing hole during summer.

Believe it or not, the snow in the photo is actually covering a lake. As you can see, many were brave enough to trust the ice as indicated by all of the tracks, however I. was. not. Not a chance!

This breath taking view was taken from the driver side window of our SUV. Not a bad shot hugh? The area you see is of Eagle River State Park.

Another photo taken in Eklutna. The mountains are getting just a little bit of snow.

The next two photo's were taken by my dad, Charlie, in Eklutna as well. Great angles dad!

Once our "true" winter has hit and there is an abundance of snow, I will prepare another post and hopefully be able to produce more breath taking photo's to share..
