I took a series of pictures for you today, but this isn't one of them

I wanted to give folks who have not wintered in Alaska an idea about the lack of light, and to tell you what that does to me, so I took a few images just before 11:00 AM, when the sun was just edging up to the the southern horizon, at 3:25 PM, by which time the sun had disappeared behind the southern horizon and then again when I headed for a coffee shop at 4:45, when the sky looked as if the sun had never been in it.

But, except for those little breaks when I took those pictures, I have been furiously busy all day and into the wee hours, for even though the day that I have been living is Friday, it is now 1:53 AM Saturday.

I have been making prints and will continue tomorrow. The last print that I made is of an image I took on October 15. At the time, I intended to post it on this blog, but things can get hectic for me and they did and I did not.

So here it is.

And it happened in the evening of October 15, 2008, right here in Wasilla, Alaska.
