Anchorage

Arriving in Anchorage we collected our rental car from the airport and headed to our hotel, which was located in downtown. In fact, it turned out to be very centrally located. After checking in and settling in for the next few days, we went for a walk around the neighbourhood.

Looking east in Anchorage

Looking east from about 3rd Avenue in Anchorage. The ominous looking cloud on the horizon was not a good sign for tomorrow.

Looking north in Anchorage

From the same location as above, but looking to the north east.

Eastern view from my hotel room in Anchorage

The view off my hotel balcony. The "slab" in front is the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts. The tops of the snowy peaks are obscured by cloud. This is looking east.

Evening reflected in this modern building, as seen from my hotel balcony. I was on the 12th floor, and the view was quite good.
