We flew to Seattle Monday. Wednesday my baby gets married. It's a very small family event. But I'm supposed to keep family matters to a minimum here, so let's leave it at that. There was rare thunder Sunday night and the big clouds were still hanging around when we left, but it was sunny and warm (pushing 70˚F).
There was a recent issue in Anchorage about the airport wanting to swap part of the coastal trail for some other land. But from up here across the inlet, you can see how much land the airport already takes. It's that gray blob in the center right. It would be interesting to figure out how many times downtown or the university are would fit inside the airport land.
For a few minutes clouds blocked the Chugach, then it was just snowy peaks and puffy clouds. That's Turnagain Arm in the upper left.
The non-snowy land is Girdwood valley, again with Turnagain Arm in the background.
This is the east end of Prince William Sound, Whittier is at the end of the lower arm, if I had my bearings right. And soon enough it was mostly cloudy and read and snoozed.
There were breaks in the clouds and here we're crossing back into the US from Canada.
Seattle was covered in thick clouds.
