And then, just like that, winter came.

Purdy shots!

Snowed here in Ottawa yesterday afternoon, but it didn't stick.

Your pictures look like those pictures that Ansel Adams took! They're so pretty!
sigh...
It snowed here yesterday!!!!
Oh yes...and awesome pictures by the way! :D
Good pics! Glad I'm not there; I hate winter.
It snowed here too.. Not as much though. It barely covered the ground... Great Pics!

I really like your pictures (all your pictures--though I've never commented on them before). These ones make me feel so....wintery somehow. It puts me in a particular music-world too. Different seasons remind me of different music. This one is a particular myckelharpa CD....sigh....I'm not quite ready for winter yet.
Really, the snow was a nice change from all the rain. I think everyone seems happier here, now that it's winter. I love how absolutely quiet it gets. I love how the scenery simplifies into black and white contrasts. I love the way Anchorage smells in winter, full of fireplace, car exhaust, and good hot food. I love how big the sky gets at night when it's clear, and of course, the moonlight on the snow is spectacular.
Great photos! How can it be winter already? Last night, the temperature here dropped to the freezing point, more or less. Earlier in the week, the temp was in the 70s, even at night. Around here, people say, "If you don't like the weather, just wait for a few days."
I like your new photo of you. The sun must have been pretty low in the sky.
Yeah, low in the sky. The sun is never anything but low here, even in the summer when it shines 20 hours a day. We have suspended sunrises and sunsets that linger for hours.

That phrase about the weather is what I was used to growing up in Oklahoma.

It's not like that here. Sometimes, the weather gets one way, and it just goes on and on until it's good and finished.

Currently 5 degrees at my house. Mmm, cozy.

yeah great pics!
yesterday we also had snow here in austria.
Today I changed the summer tires :)
Gorgeous!
I agree with the other Tom 100%. It's 67 and raining here, I like a spring like Fall much better.
How about a winter-like summer?

My personal favorite is two weeks in Hawaii in the middle of an Alaskan winter. It's crazy good.

I can't wait to get to OK, though. Counting down the days...
