Winter in Alaska - a photo on Flickriver

Winter in Alaska

            Winter is a two edged sword in Alaska. While the continual darkness and cold can be depressing, the stillness, quietness and pastel colors of wilderness can be the most beautiful scenes one could imagine. Getting off the road during winter is very strenuous physically, my wife and I are both in our 60's now and do not have the stamina we used to have. We have found plowed backroads and we go there often in winter. 
This particular scene is taken from higher elevation on a gravel road that leads to a cell tower. In the bottom right of this photo, the Trans-Alaskan Pipeline is visible. This day, the air was still and the temperatures were cold, but the sun setting to the south, made the view to the north so beautiful. The pastel blue and pink sky and the cool light on the mountains was breathtaking.
