Winter nears across Alaska; low sun-angle and growing snowpack contribute to the quiet beauty of the cold season there

Marsha Laskowski sends us this shot of Pioneer Peak, north of Anchorage. The low angle late autumn sun can be seen behind the mountains as can the snow cover which is in place. Marsha and her mother have recently made the move to Alaska from Chicago and are enjoying their new home. This has been a dream come true for both.

THANKS for the beautiful photo, Marsha, and please keep us posted on the coming Alaskan winter! It’s good hearing from you and please know all of us in Chicago send a warm hello back to you!
