It’s been very foggy here the past few days. Combined with temperatures consistently below freezing, it creates hoarfrost, coating all surfaces with spiky ice crystals. I plan on going out tomorrow morning and getting some pictures if it’s still around.

On the way to the Homer Veterinary Clinic’s staff holiday party, I had to pull over and take some shots of Homer from the Skyline Drive overlook. The sun was setting, the trees were covered with hoarfrost, and Kachemak Bay was covered in clouds. Beautiful!

While doing my dog yard chores, I occasionally look up and watch the mountains. There’s always something different going on, due to weather, sunlight (or lack of), moonlight, etc. Today, the lighting was unlike anything I’ve seen so far, with alternating patches of yellow, blue, and white light falling on the slopes.

It was still happening after I finished, so I ran in and grabbed my camera. The only way to take it all in was to shoot a panoramic, so hopefully this helps convey a little of what I saw!

I have 20+ pictures to post, including stuff I shot the other night under the full moon, so there might be a flurry of posts coming from me in the next few days.
