A short night in Anchorage, Alaska
After a long day of travel to Anchorage, Alaska on July 12th, we were greeted by the setting sun as our plane landed at 11:00 PM. By the time we retrieved luggage and made it to our hotel, it was right at midnight, but the sunset colors were still vivid and begged for photography. We […]
