Small Alaskan Town

One on the major intersections in our town and the only one to sport a real traffic light. (You have to drive seventy-some miles north before you hit the next stop light.) You wouldn't believe the angst and drama that preceded its installation--fears that it would ruin the ambiance of the town. But it has made getting around a lot smoother, especially during the summer.

I snapped this last Wednesday as I was leaving the post office.
