These photos are taken at different locations in Alaska, all in the direct surroundings of Kenai and Soldotna. Cities at three hours distance from Anchorage.

The first photo is taken at the beach in Kenai, we have been there several times to enjoy the beautiful sunsets. The  way the sun broke through the clouds to reflect in the water, the light shades of pink in the early evening sky. The beginning of a beautiful sunset.

The second picture is taken from the boatlaunch near our first house in Soldotna, the river is the Kenai river, we have witnessed the river turn from a competely covered snowfield into this beautiful sight.

The third photo is one of the Kenai river, taken from the wooden stairs at the house that leed down to the riverbank. This photo was taken early spring, I was told that the spring sat in earlier than normal this year. I had hoped to be able to witness the breaking of the ice on the river, but unfortunately, maybe next time.

While driving around looking for nice places we stumbled on this beautiful view, this was the view on the Sterling Highway towards Homer.

While driving past this magnificant view I was looking for a open spot where we could stop and take a picture, you know how that goes, we past the perfect spot and had to drive another mile to find a spot to turn and head back.

Luckely my husband is just as excited about the views as I am.
