This is shortly after sunrise (10:31am) at the Fairbanks airport. I am heading north again on a trip I had delayed due to the quick trip to southern CA. I was originally scheduled to leave on this trip last Thursday and return in the middle of this week.
Just for comparison, this is the view from the waiting room at the Prudhoe Bay airport. Alaska Airlines has re-vamped their schedule so now a whole day is consumed traveling to Barrow instead of just a morning. The first sunset of the year is still about a week away but it's pretty well lit up.
The next PBC video was recorded yesterday afternoon and is only a 23 km leg of a longer trip. It ended at a turnout near the back entrance to the university ski trails. I probably could've included it on the next video but didn't. I didn't have the handy GoPro remote charged up so I just ran it as one long video.
In Fairbanks we have been getting the sun. In fact, that's the sun in the first picture from the Fairbanks airport. The second one from the Deadhorse airport (Prudhoe Bay) is only a suggestion of the sun near noon.
It just takes a long time to get up here. I believe that it is a direct flight back to Fairbanks.
The two options are, fly to Anchorage and catch the direct flight to Barrow or fly to Deadhorse and connect to Barrow 150 miles away. The Deadhorse option was a couple hundred less.
I like the music on this video.
ReplyDeleteThe landscape almost looks sweaty. Hey- how about a city ride?
Music for the videos continue to be a challenge. I have just been using the music that Google offers royalty free.
DeleteI'll venture into the "City" when I get back in town.
I like the sunrise pics, even if you don't get to see the actual sun.

DeleteSo you will be losing two days just over traveling there and back? Bummer.
ReplyDeleteNice sun rise pic!

Nice sunrise pics
ReplyDeleteThanks! The first was HDR on the iPhone and the second was not.
