The Cold Season in Mali, West Africa Cold weather hits Interior Alaska

Winter Sunrise in Yakutsk, Siberia/Russia. Nov. 20, 2009.

Currently I visit extension courses on auctions, contests, etc at Yakutsk State University. Now my ordinary day is as follows. At 8:20 am I leave my kids at kindergarten. A few weeks ago it was the very time to view sunrise. Once, on Nov. 20, 2009, I decided to bring along a camera to take pictures of the rising sun. But I failed to do that after the kindergarten. I saw the first lights only, but no sun. See the above pic. I walked along the quay to the university with the hope to see the scarlet shafts of sunrise… and eventually I started shivering. Took a bus and finally got into the building.

Sunrise happened during the lecture, after 9 am. A pic above was taken through the window glass.

The sun & the student.

When I had coffee break, I rushed to so-called Zelenyj Lug (Green Meadow) and made some photographs.

Yeah, it was really cool to see the sun in frost and fog. At that moment outdoor temperature was below -35C. My sun hunting resulted in tonsillitis. Praise God, I feel much better now. However, since then I would prefer to wear a warm parka and fur boots.
