The rail to Seward
Tundra Travel
Film Friday:
We were in the calm between the storms when I took this photo. It gives a good look at life on Alaska’s tundra. The airstrip for the village is in the background, with the hanger, housing the grader/snowplow, on the horizon. A plane had not been able to land for several days, and it would be several more before one came in. People were going about their business: walking or riding a four wheeler or snowmachine. Dogs roamed about, on their own personal business, as well. “Bear”, my seemingly constant canine companion, was sitting in the snow at my side, taking in all the action with me.
Camera: Widelux FVI; Film: Kodak 35mm, Tri-X400
Bring on 2021
Like many others, I have never been so ready to turn the page on a year, as I am with 2020.
Best wishes to all of you in 2021.
Cheers

Operation Santa… by dogsled
Flashback Film Friday; Holiday Edition:
Airmen out of Elmendorf AFB take packages by dogsled into the village of Savoonga on Saint Lawrence Island. It was -20F when they unloaded their C-123, Christmas Day, 1963. The huskies look to be getting impatient.
