The beauty and mystery of the north brings the reality of modern-day decisions in focus. Signs of protest of LNG, pipeline and coal-bed methane development spot the communities. A 50 mile plus drive past the installation of transmission lines gave us an inkling of the impact of these enormous projects. The question of what we are doing to our world in the interest of a growing economy is never closer to the surface than up here.
We are watching the sunset times. As we drive north the sun sets later and later. Before long the sun will outlast us! Sun is setting around 11:00 pm and Fay noticed a streak of pink on the horizon at 3:30 am! Eyeshades are close at hand but the evenings are glorious. The following pictures were all taken after 10:30 at night!
Wow, just gorgeous!
