A Sunny Day in Anchorage


Here's a shot from about 5 minutes ago, taken in midtown & facing northwest. Click to enlarge, and notice the three mountain peaks in the center of the horizon.

Those are, from left to right, Mt. Foraker (17,400 ft.), Mt. Hunter (14,573 ft), and Denali - you may know it as Mt. McKinley - at 20,322 ft. They are about 125 miles away, but easily visible when weather is clear in that direction ... which isn't often.
