Happy New Year to Nikongear with these images of the celebration in Fairbanks that also was the 100 year anniversary for the university. (We are always among the last to enter the new year here
). Due to focus on other things I have not gotten to neither capture nor post much images lately so bear over with the somewhat image-rich post. I somehow found the firework display unusually well composed, and the 300PF worked very well for this. After looking at my "Dishy" Firework captures from last year I decided on the same vantage point (just a quiet walk down the road from my cabin and no big crowds). The old satellite dish was exchanged with a smaller and better one last spring and ended up being hidden behind some trees.

Although the Arctic is warming with an alarming rate and the lower 48 presently is colder than Fairbanks, let us hope there will be a while before palm trees grow in Fairbanks...

So let us go into the new year with best wishes for our globe...
