Painting Atmautluak 16

Yupic village dog sled photo.
Race day in the village of Atmautluak, Alaska, dawned bright and clear. It was cold, but without wind it was quite pleasant. I began to feel like a native, how could I think minus twenty below zero was pleasant? The frozen river that ran alongside town was alive with people, they seem to come out of nowhere, old and young alike. Their were several dozen sleds with small dog teams milling about getting ready for the start of the race. I snapped photos like crazy.
More tomorrow.
