Anchorage By Winter

This video was shot in locations around Anchorage, Alaska - maybe you will see why I love it so.

TOO DAMN COLD! :-)

Old NFO - maybe I shouldn't mention that many of those scenes were shot during break-up, when the temps were moderate. So I won't. ;)

Please stop it!!
I want to get back there sometime before I am to dang old...

Cold? I'll take it...

Rev. Paul said...

MaddMedic: what can I say? Alaska exerts its charm on those who are compatible, and ... dare I say it, resistance is futile.

Old NFO said...

LOL, the ONLY place I like ice is in a drink! :-) I've spent time in Adak, Kodiak, Eielson, Ice Camp APLIS and Thule... I've had ENOUGH of the cold!!!

Rev. Paul said...

NFO, I'll yield to you on that one. If a body ain't likin' the cold, then it ain't likin' the cold ... and nuthin's gonna change that. :)

Wonderful - takes my breath away.

Being a Florida guy, I've always wanted to see Alaska but figured I'd freeze solid. I want to see it like that - not in the summer, not one of the cruise ships. "Almost" have gone a few times but something always comes up. It's still on my bucket list.

Rev. Paul said...

Graybeard: it's beautiful here in the summer AND winter - winter is merely a different kind of beauty. I encourage you to come see for yourself, if/when you can.

Glorious!

Moms Musings said...

Just beautiful. I've got to get to Alaska in the winter.

Rev. Paul said...

threecollie, we agree. :)

Cathy, I really think you'd love it.

I can't handle the cold. Looks Beautiful and has its charms. Perhaps it is worth the price?

Rev. Paul said...

Keads, the trick is lots of layers. We don't "put up with the cold" - we protect ourselves from it.

Keads said...

You paint a very persuasive picture. I would so miss the mountains and coast here. Perhaps I need to observe for myself before I pass judgement.

Very beautiful. My husband and I visited Alaska on several occasions. He even visited Juneau in winter. I could watch auroras all day/night long. Thanks for posting.
