My Alaska, Pt. 1

Alaska means different things to different people. For some, its working the pipeline and snow machines, or maybe its skiing 30 miles to a cabin in the wilderness. It could be studying musk oxen in the Arctic, mushing dogs, or owning an espresso stand. I've finally gotten around to taking some photos just for the sake of taking photos. This is the Alaska that I've found, so my ongoing project is called "My Alaska".


I decided to start with the pipeline. I drive by it often and always wanted to take a look at these funky things. (They are convective radiators so the ground below the pipeline doesn't thaw and sink.)

Apparently Sattie loves Cal.


The ol' Howling Dog Saloon, closed for the winter because the building isn't insulated.

An adornment of the less-traveled St. Patrick Road.

Willow Run.

North Star Borough Solid Waste Disposal, Fox Station. (No curbside pick-up around here)

Part II is in the works! Snow is melting quickly...
