Time for Pictures

I was finally able to fix the picture problem by uploading my pictures into Picasa instead of IPhoto.  That way the pictures are already on the web in a Google-based program.  A lot has happened in the last two weeks here is St. Michael.  When I have a long, calm moment I will bring you all up to date on the happenings of St. Michael.  Enjoy the following pictures.

My Alaska ID card that makes me an Alaska resident.

The barge coming into St. Michael.  It spent the night in the bay before docking to unload large items like fuel.

This is the Bering Air plane that brought Nathan from Unalakleet.  It landed then taxied up to the truck.  

This is the view of the plane from the car.  It really comes that close.   When the pilot gets out of his seat and moves to the door in the back of the plane, it is a signal to people meeting the plane that they can drive up to the plane.  I drove forward and backed up toward the tail of the plane.  

Nathan is finally in St. Michael.  Doesn't he look happy?  He arrived on a beautiful day with warm temperatures in fifties.

Sunrise at 8am over St. Michael on September 7.  The date is important.  Now it is September 21 and the sun is rising at 8:30am.  The change in the amount of sunlight is amazing.  When I arrived in St. Michael on August 5, the sun was rising before 6am and setting after 1am: 19 hours of daylight.  47 days later, the sun is rising at 8:30am and setting at 9pm: 12.5 hours of daylight.  Amazing!
