we saw the sun today!

the fog stayed low, and to the south today, and yielded a fantastic mid day sun. i had to put the visor down in the car for the first time in quite a while. it was so therapeutic to feel the sun on my face. it only lasts a couple hours, and lingers tauntingly close to the horizon. the sunset was long and wonderful..

dea had to grade papers all day, but martin and i skied the uaf trails this afternoon. we have been trying to coordinate getting out during the day to get some shots of him skiing. we left it a little late, and the sun had dipped, but we had a good time. the lack of light led to long exposures and some serious over exposing, but is was a good time. kind of a wash as far as results go, but good to shoot. got some laughs as i lay on my side in the snow to shoot martin for a good angle. a couple outtakes..
