Nice! What a window we had.

Beautiful images..... would have liked them even more with nature's own sounds.

I’m annoyed, too, by someone’s need to “enhance” with “music” HE-SHE thinks will be valued by viewers. I alternate between turning off sound or just leaving the vid entirely. Why listen to crap that is unnecessary to allow into your head! There’s no limit to crap sound effects. They don’t belong in beautiful scenery like this.

Cold & no snow. Excellent ice conditions.

Amazing

[@CyclingAlaska]

Yeah, it was great while it lasted! Anchorage got snow this week, but are we sure it snowed in the higher elevations: Rabbit Lake, Willowaw Lakes, etc? I haven't been up there since late October.

See any fish?

[@lucmehl_ak]

yes!

[@doylethechocolatelab]

I was literally just about to ask 😂 I've always wondered

[@AlaskaBoys]

On rabbit and symphony lakes, we’re you chasing fish around? Must have been wild.

[@lucmehl_ak]

we saw hundreds of fish on symphony! just a few on rabbit.

꼭 가보고 싶은 풍경이네요. 여기서 스케이트 타는 사람들은 정말 운이 좋은 사람들입니다.

[@libenasukro]

Would it be possible to also post this with natural sound? Nature provides its own soundtrack.

[@wt8918]

so how thick was this ice as the clarity makes it appear so thin?

[@lucmehl_ak]

4 inches thick
