This one is cool- it's a view from the road across the "ocean inlet". Just looks like a wide open valley or something.
This just looked really cool- looks like an island on top of a huge thing of ice! That's about how high the water was in the summer I think.
This is just where the water coming out of the side of the mountain has frozen. I think it looks awesome.
This is where the inlet is- just not too much water left. We couldn't decide if the chunks out there are ice or just rocks, but there was very little water around.
I took this one because you can see the little canyon in the sand made by the water receeding I assume.
In case you were wondering- we were going to the store on Saturday, and the kids fell asleep, so we decided to just go for a little drive before, and we ended up on the Seward Highway (our favorite drive). We haven't been down there since it snowed (I don't think we would have wanted to with the ice, snow and avalanches), but it was really pretty still! Anyway- just wanted to share some of these. As usual the photographs just don't do this place justice!
I have been trying to get a picture of the newly fallen snow on the trees ever since we got here, but I never had the camera with me at the right times (go figure)
But my sweet husband took it with him on what we hope was the last day it snows (we're crossing our fingers, but according to the news last night it wasn't) he was on his way to the church to set up chairs, so some of them are through the car window and over the shoulder and stuff, but it gives you a general idea
Well, and it wasn't that big of a snow, so it wasn't completely covering the trees the way I like- BUT that's the good thing if it actually snows again :) I can try for another picture
Picture all those trees just covered in snow- it's just a big field of white!
I thought Nate did a great job on this one- looks cool! (and cold).
