What's become a tradition for me since moving to Alaska, taking a picture of the sunset at exactly midnight on the solstice. Last night's pic I shot down on Turnagain Arm close to Portage. I've never lived anywhere where the solstice is an event like it is in Alaska. It's all down hill from here to the dark and dreary...

I had a great lunch at a little drive-in in Delta Junction last summer. Nice little town.
OP, that's an absolutely gorgeous photo. I'm really wishing I was up there right now...supposed to be in the 90's here all week, and humid so the index will be well over 100. And the bugs are out in force. Had to work a traffic detail this morning, drank 4 bottles of water in 2 hours and completely soaked through my vest carrier and my shirt. I'm over this crap and ready for winter to come back.
