08/27/2009: "August in Juneau, it aint for woosies..."

August/September in Southeast Alaska, is not my favorite time of year. It gets cold, it gets rainy (like REALLY rainy), and you start to notice that it's getting dark earlier and earlier.

Last night there was a break in the rain and Aaron and I went up the tram to have dinner. Later we hiked briefly and took some cool photographs. Aaron took the one with the tree in it. Pretty sun light or what?

Thanks Rosalind. The art scene here is wonderful, but I guess it's all relative to what you're used to.
