Solstice Sunset

Our shortest day of sunlight has come and gone:  sunrise about 10 and sunset around 4.  As we were walking on the spit on December 21, I appreciated that we had a little sunshine that day and snapped this photo, looking over the Mariner Park beach. In these winter months it feels like the sun is always about to set as it just skims up over the Kenai Mountain Range and then sets to the southwest.
