Barrow Photographic Essay

Stephen provided me with some photos from his recent excursion to Barrow. I'm pretty sure these were taken during the "daytime". One shows the airport which consists of an Alaska Airlines terminal.

Next, there's the Airport Inn which is where he stayed the night. He said the people in Barrow are all VERY nice. I'd think they'd all be depressed given the 24-hour darkness. But I guess the folks who can live in Barrow are used to the darkness and it doesn't bother them. I did speak to the receptionist at the Inn and she was very pleasant. Stephen said she's from Texas. Go figure.

The last photo, a self-portrait..., kind of creeps me out. It looks like something out of a Freddie Kruger movie. But Stephen claims he wasn't thinking much about fashion statements when he was rapidly dodging from one "inside environment" to another. The wind chill was -51 degrees during his stay. Brrrrrrr!
