mountains

Alaska is so beautiful that even a simple car ride from Anchorage to Wasilla results in beautiful scenery that you won't find in most other places.

Here is a sequence of two pictures taken from inside my car as I approach Wasilla from the south. The first picture shows a mountain range towering over the road, with an airplane crossing the sky.

After taking care of my phone and electric bills in Wasilla (at the MTA and MEA, respectively), I made this video while driving south to Anchorage this afternoon:

How beautiful it is to see the mountains becoming covered in snow! Things are significantly whiter up north in Denali, where it was snowing when I left two weeks ago, but this is still very pretty, and all the white makes a huge difference in the scenery.
