Bye-bye, Barrow sun… I expect to see you again someday…

I had hoped the sky would be clear down by the horizon so I could see and photograph the Barrow sun for the last time this year. Today, the sun rose at 12:45 PM and set at 1:38 PM. It will not rise again until 1:29 PM, January 22, 2014, when it will stay up for 20 minutes and go right back down again. The sun was setting behind those low clouds just as I took this picture of Randy Duncan, doing his part to bring light to Barrow through the dark months ahead.
