Home Again

I was gone for a week, off to Walla Walla, Washington, for a nephew's wedding.

I flew Alaska and Horizon airlines for the trip, but after landing in Anchorage at 3A.M., this below scene caught my eye as I left the airport.   I doubled back, and  took this photo with my phone.

The plane is tied down at Lake Hood, the busiest seaplane base in the world, averaging almost 200 flights a day.   There are close to 900 small planes there, just three nautical miles from downtown Anchorage.




Yes, I took the photo at 3:30 A.M.   The light is from the sunset.    It is not as dark as it seems as this is the season of the Midnight sun.
