Alaskan Sunsets

Despite my blog title eluding to a sunrise symbolizing the beginning of a new year for me here in Alaska, there have been some ridiculous sunsets since I’ve moved here.  A normal day’s sun has been rising around 4am and setting close to 11pm this time of year.  However, before too long those two separate hours will be nearing closer and closer - until we hit June 21st, the longest day of the year.  Here are a few examples of what I am speaking of.

Daylight fades above a dog mushing trail.

Birch trees offer great silhouettes at Creamer's Field.
