Ravens on the Wall

This building, in Fairbanks, Alaska, is decorated with ravens resting n pipes along the outside wall of the structure.  It was winter so there are snow clumps on the pipes.

Many of the structures in Fairbanks are decorated.

Blue Wall

This is the side of the police department in Fairbanks, AK.  

It was probably near zero when I made this image and I was so happy there were no cars parked at the curb.  I love the geometric pattern on the wall with the snow in various places.

Tree with Snow

It's +2 degrees right now and overcast.  According to the forecast, it's supposed to be +30 tomorrow.  

Hopefully I can get out and take some photos in town. 

This tree is right outside my window, so very easy to grab an image.  

It gets light outside about 10 am and gets dark around 4:30 pm.

Lots of Snow

It's -30.  The air is dry.  The scenery is beautiful.

This image was made in the outskirts of Fairbanks, Alaska.

For those who love winter and winter sports, this is the place to be.

Playhouse in Snow

Looking out of the Fairbanks Public Library window into their yard where there's a playhouse for the children.  

Today it's -30 but in a few days it's going to be above zero. Weird winter weather.

Winter Morning

It was 11 am when this image was made.  The sun rises around 10:30 am and sets around 3:30 pm during the winter in Alaska.  

People love living in Alaska.  I don't know why.

Hiking Boot in Snow

While in Fairbanks, AK, I went to Pioneer Village one day.  I was adjusting my camera to see if it was focusing ok and I took this shot of my hiking boot.  For some crazy reason, I really like this shot. It might not say what venue I'm at, but it sure says I'm in winter weather.

Structure at Pioneer Park

This log cabin structure is located within the gates of Pioneer Park in Fairbanks, Alaska. 

It's currently shuttered during the winter, but is still an imposing building.

I liked the red sign on the otherwise brown building.

Backyard Sauna

Seen in the backyard of a home in the hills just outside of Fairbanks, Alaska on a cold winter's day.

Lone Tree

My photo club assigned topic for Jan was Lone Tree.  It was difficult to find a "lone" tree that looked interesting, so I just scrapped the topic and entered other photos.

The Jan meeting was canceled for some reason that didn't make sense to me and rescheduled for another month, so I guess I have another chance to enter that topic.  While walking around downtown Fairbanks, I saw this tree, and others, that were separated enough from other foliage to fit the topic.  

I thought this tree looked beautiful, so I tried to capture it, but there are still buildings and cars showing.

Really......it's just a snow covered fir tree, nothing special so I'm not sure I'll enter it.

I just think it's pretty against the gorgeous blue sky on a cold winter day.

Museum of the North~~University of Alaska, Fairbanks

This beautiful building is the Museum of the North at the University of Alaska in Fairbanks.  It's a gorgeous building and I've taken many photos of it in various seasons.  The large bricks are intended to mimic bricks that an igloo is made of.

Full Moon

I noticed this full moon surrounded by snow covered tress and a bare birch tree.  I made this image with my phone camera.  It looks ok as a small image, but enlarging it shows that it was a substandard camera and not my SLR.  It's still a pretty scene.

Mid-Afternoon on a Winter Day

A cold, crisp winter day.  The scene looks fake to me, but it's real.  Almost too pretty to be true.

Snow on Dirty White Fence

The fence might be dirty white, but I think the scene is pretty.
