The Shortest Day?

This is in reponse to all the Family and friends that think that Alaska is totaly Dark all the time During the Winter. Today is SUPPOSED to be the Shortest Day of the Year. The Sun here rises at 10:18Am and Sets about 5Pm. The previous photo is Mt Ballyhoo at 9Am
When the sun did finally peek out after 10am the entire range of Mountains around us were tinted this beautiful pink that these photos do not capture in all it's glory.

Ballyhoo was especially beautiful.

I was down by the Horizon Dock and Snapped off a few good ones around sunrise.

Seriously, if it is as beautiful as this on the shortest day of the Year I can not WAIT for the Longest Day!!!
And Now a SPECIAL PHOTO for Kim, and her alone!!! Everyone else can stop reading and just move along to the Comment section. Thank you for bringing our Newest Member Fizz!!!!
Seriously, Stop Looking. GO and Comment.

Beautiful pictures! When I was up in Delta Junction in July, it never seemed to get as truly dark as it does here...it was always this gorgeous shade of twilight...the sun would set around midnight and rise around 5:30...

I;m so glad you posted pictures of today. I can't wait to tell all those people who keep thinking it's completely dark this time of year in Alaska and have proof that it isn't. Love the pictures.

I started on COPD Herbal treatment from Ultimate Health Home, the treatment worked incredibly for my lungs condition. I used the herbal treatment for almost 4 months, it reversed my COPD. My severe shortness of breath, dry cough, chest tightness gradually disappeared. Reach Ultimate Health Home via their website at www.ultimatelifeclinic.com I can breath much better and It feels comfortable!
