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