Room with a view...

This the the view of the sunrise here in St. Michael. I took this picture from my classroom window about 11:15 today. The sun is coming up behind The Sisters mountains. The Sisters are part of mainland Alaska. The canal is between St. Michael Island and the mainland in this picture. It's completely covered with about 2 feet of ice now. The snowmobile and 4 wheeler in the picture are the usual mode of transportation. (I don't think the truck has moved in years.) Anyway, the sun really is beautiful when it comes up. For the record, it is coming up from the south today.
