Postcards from Alaska

It is somehow a pleasure to look at postcards from cold places in the middle of the summer, isn't it? The following were sent by Bryon from Anchorage (Alaska, the USA), back in April:

  1. Amazing landscapes!
    And indeed I could use a little frost to have fresh up my cheeks, as my face hot sunburn last weekend :-)
    Always fascinating that the weather, temperature, climate, always differ from ours, at the same time on a different place

    1. I think Alaska would more thsn just "refreshing". Something closer to "iceing"... :)

  2. For years I believed I'd actually live in Alaska. I believed it was my destiny. It never happened. Not even a cruise. :) Having an actual penfriend in the state, imagining the mosquitoes there being bigger and badder than mosquitoes here all worked together to change my mind. :) I kept myself in Colorado. LOL. The photos are always the loveliest.

    Beautiful.

  3. Actually Limmer is quite accurate in the mosquito estimation. I've seen them and have been bitten by them many times there and yes, they are the biggest ones in the US I have ever seen. However, when seen in light of all the incredible mountains, glaciers, icebergs, bears, moose, wolves, orcas, and many other creatures, Alaska is still worth a visit. I could live there too...for maybe a year :)
