About Nome, Alaska
  In keeping with the strictly picture album mood, I'll just post some photos from in & around this strange place I call home. Brief captions will describe what you see. Thanks for visiting!
           John Russell   j-russell@gci.net    First, a few photos © by nome resident Peggy Fagerstrom. Peggy's beautiful photographs regularly adorn the front page of our local newspaper. My thanks to Peggy for letting me share them here. She is currently working on a new webpage, and I hope to be adding a link shortly.

  Alongside Nome's harbor, these fishing trawlars sit out the winter, moored out of harm's way.
  Winter sunset, facing South over the Bering Sea. Mr. Moon and Venus rule.
Back to my NorthernlightsNome homepage.
  This wide open, completely treeless landscape makes for some challenging framing opportunities.
  Gold country. This old dredge sits just outside town.
  I loaded some NHG800 film for an expected aurora event that did'nt happen. This daylight winter setting is a bit out of its range, but it did OK.
  Nome's "Ice Spruce" forest, about 1/4 mile south of town.
  I spent the summer of 2001 with a roll of Fuji 200, and it was a very enjoyable 2 weeks indeed. These photos are all from early thru mid June. Fuji 200 film.
Mid June, 12:45am.
  At the "White Alice" communications relay site atop of Anvil Mountain. (About 3 miles north of Nome) This relic of the Cold War now stands as a major navigational landmark.
  Taken at 2:30 - 3:00am, this is as dark as it gets in mid June. The above 3 are facing the sun and have fooled my camera, or scanner. I'm not sure which. The following 4 are quite accurate, rwt actual light conditions. (Also at the White Alice site on Anvil).
  Mid August, 2001. These assembleges demonstrate the Nome region's  wide open treeless landscape and cover about 180 degrees each. They face generally north, and each segment is linked to enlarge.
