After work Friday Blueskies. Honestly feel like my poor photography skills and phone camera do these vistas no justice.
#Alaska #Alaskasky #Fairbankssky
Heavy gray clouds dominate the sky with somber tones. In contrast, the waning sunlight highlights the mountains in the middle. Low clouds can be seen around the base of the mountain on the right

A moment of zen.
#Alaska #Alaskasky #Fairbankssky
A molten orange sunrise over the mountains, highlighted with pastel orange and pink hues reflected off of the clouds above. Some of the clouds are dark enough to contrast a darker color compared to the lighter clouds. The effect of the sunrise completely blacks out a portion of the foreground, with only the mountains in the relief. Needed this view this morning

Monday Mountain view from work is like my mood: subdued and melancholy
#Alaska #Alaskasky #Fairbankssky
Heavy gray clouds smother the mountains, that are barely backlit by the sunrise. A vast swath of snow covered forest can be seen in the foreground.

After work Friday blueskies are crisp and clear.
#Alaska #Alaskasky #Fairbankssky
Low, pale orange hues from sunset highlight the mountains with a pale grey-blue sky overhead. Standing quiet and clear in the foreground are snow covered trees and fields.

Got a better pic of the mountains during lunch.
#Alaska #Alaskasky #Fairbankssky
Ominous dark clouds dominate the sky, while rays of sunlight break through and highlight the mountains. In stark relief, the forested terrain creates a border with the mountains.

Monday morning mountain view from work.
#Alaska #Alaskasky #Fairbankssky
Hazy grey clouds are highlighted by the sunrise, with the mountains a somber blue hue below them. Snow covered trees provide a contrast in the foreground. An airplane can barely be seen, on approach to land.

Afterwork friday blueskies, except the pics were taken during my lunch break.
#Alaska #Alaskasky #Fairbankssky
Clouds over the mountains with snow covered trees in the foreground Similar to the prior pic, but taken of the mountain to the right of the prior pic. Similar snow covered forest in the foreground, and a small hill on the right is visible.

Moment of zen from work earlier today.
#Alaska #Alaskasky #Fairbankssky
The sun shining through the clouds, illuminating the mountains. Contrasting with the sky, the foreground is darkened snow covered land. I really like the colors of the sun in the sky on this one.

Monday mountain view from work is lacking mountains today.
#Alaska #Alaskasky #Fairbankssky
The sun setting is a molten ball of fire dominating the sky. The halo of a sundog can be seem on the left, just below a small plane in the sky. Mountains are barely visible in a haze near the sundog. Sparse trees and snow covered fields dominate the foreground, with small hills to the right of the sun.

Friday blueskies, can see the clouds gathering around the mountains. Supposed to get snow tonight and tomorrow.
#Alaska #Alaskasky #Fairbankssky
Heavy clouds over the mountains, with hazy layers of clouds around the mountain base. The noon sun can be seen shining bright through the top layer of clouds. Snow covered trees and sparse buildings can be seen in the foreground

Gonna go with an older one here: the visual novel Song of Saya. Hell of a storyline, and while their are no "happy" endings, the endings are all good. Def not for the faint or pure of heart and I cannot recommend it to the average person.

In 2026 and the years beyond, may the world be a place where beautiful clouds greet us whenever we look up at the sky.

2026年もその先も、ふと見上げた空に、美しい雲がある世界でありますように。
