Woodside Park

A few photos from the park next door - Woodside Park(Eastchester). Alaskan fall is predominantly yellow(I remember

tko_ak mentioning that) and its slight variations. Not many flaming orange trees here.

Pictures from near the Port of Anchorage

Took these photos a couple of weeks ago on an unbearably sunny evening by Alaskan standards, temperature was in the high 70s. Today the sun rose at 4:20 am and will set at 11:42 pm. 4.5 hrs of what could be called twilight in between the day and the next day - no real night per se. Tomorrow(June 21-Summer Solstice) will be the longest day and after that we'll start losing daylight steadily till night equals day on Sept 23.

To make sure that someone gets the maximum out of a vacation Alaska, the far-sighted visit Alaska during the Solstice. This is exactly what a fellow lj-er did. For the first time in my life I was graced by the presence of a person I met for the first time on internet. None other than

arunshanbhag. Both our families spend a wonderful Sunday together, explored a little around Anchorage and

arunshanbhag treated us to an sumptuous Alaskan seafood dinner. Thus my lj-block(I am not the most social of persons, especially when it comes to meeting someone straight off the www) is officially cured.

Please be warned of the deluge of Alaskan photos awaiting you soon as the Marathon Man gets back home and starts sorting his photos. My camera caught an inferiority-complex bug and refused to come out of its cover, so all the history of the day is the copyrighted property of ze Man. If you are interested you can watch two more two-week old Anchorage snaps. ( Clickety Click )
