Juneau Scenery

This is picture of the Gastineau Channel taken from Sandy Beach at low tide as the skies begin to darken last Sunday in Douglas.

The sky is Juneau can change very quickly. One minute you can see across the channel, the next minute you can't. The view of Juneau across the channel can disappear as you literally watch a grey curtain move in. The picture above was taken an hour before the picture on the top. Notice how clear the sky was and then the clouds began moving in as the day closed.


Mendenhall Hall Glacier as seen from across the Channel and the northern end of Douglas Highway.

Evening skies as seen driving to the airport in Mendenhall Valley. Speaking of a drive to the airport. Ruby Riddle spent a week in Juneau the first part of March and she said it was the most wonderful week she can recall. She sat in on many of the committee meetings about petroleum production taxes, spent time with friends from Fairbanks and North Pole, and charmed everyone. One lobbyist asked her to adopt him.
