These pictures were taken a few days after we got to Fairbanks. It was at the home of some people who lived out of town. We were in our rental car, which ended up getting stuck. The family was very nice and helped get the car up the hill. It was fun, even with the misadventure, and the family was very welcoming. They are originally from Oregon, and have us some good tips. It is also the only "Christmasy" thing we did this year, and holds find memories because of that too!
We are officially vehicle-less, having turned in our rental on Tuesday. We got our errands done yesterday, and are planning on riding all 5 of the bus routes today, to we know where they all go, including the bus that goes to North Pole!
Have fun on the bus! I love the way the light colors are brighter with the snowy background.
ReplyDeleteThe snow is part of it, but part of it is just how *dark* it gets. These were taken at about 5:30 pm, and it is darker, (even with house lights from several houses close by) than I have ever seen it get in the lower 48. Even when we lived in northern Wisconsin, there was more general background light out in the country, than there is when you go outside of town here. It's hard to explain, but I am understanding what a difference contrast can make in a whole lot of areas.
