The shortest day of the year: 12/21/11...
At 5 Hours and 28 minutes of daylight
the sun clings to the glaciers and mountains throughout the day.
The golden hour of light extends through the whole day. Illuminating this vestige of past seasons standing stoically against the extinguishing light.
Mt. Redoubt, an active volcano lies across the expanse of ice, mud and water of Cook Inlet. When will she toss off her fitful slumber and come to life once again with the important work of creating land?

Battling the wind and kissing the ice was rewarded with these images of solstice sunset on the inlet. Winds gusting to 20 mph from the southeast insured we didn't get to comfortable |
| Carr-Gottstein Park affords panoramic views of the inlet, allowing access to the Cook Inlet Wildlife Sanctuary |
