Photo of the day - January 7

Here's a nice shot of Barrow, Alaska, taken from the air during the weekend of October 6-9, 2006. It shows the typical building style of most of Barrow, and how the city is nestled on the coast line of the Artic Ocean. I learned that the streets are not paved. Depending on the season, they are either dirt, mud, or compacted snow and ice. Photo courtesy Barbara Tharp.
