Photos of Freeze-Up

Freeze-up was very fast this year. It began on Monday, October 19th and within two weeks our river was frozen. Here are some photos of our village during freeze-up.



I took this photo from my kitchen window. The Johnson River is completely frozen.




This is the pond behind the school. I took this photo on Friday evening October 30, 2009. Children can now ice skate on the pond.

One of the many dogs in the village.

These two little girls are ready for the snow and cold.

I took this photo from the dock. The sun was had just set. Our sun now rises around 10 AM and sets around 6 PM. Since I'm in school, I don't see the sun rise, but I always see the sun set.

Again, taken from the dock. The Johnson River is frozen. Our school boat is in the foreground.

You can see the path of the snow machines here. Sunset on Monday, October 26, 2009.

Our sunsets are always spectacular. Photos never show the real beauty. October 26, 2009.
