Yes, Anchorage as in Anchorage, Alaska. Home to 43% of the state population, I myself am included into that statistic! Not that you remotely cared, but I had to think up some intro for this photo thread no?

I love Anchorage!

[xzmattzx]

Anchorage has some nice tall skyscrapers.

When were these pictures taken? Do the leaves start changing colors by now?

[flar]

Good photos.

[Front_Range_Guy]

Impressive.

[Ex-Ithacan]

OK, there's a couple of shots there making Anchorage look all big city and stuff, but here's my real questions:

1. Who started the fire (maybe someone trying to add excitement to a photo thread)?

2. What's with the high heels while kite-flying?

3. How can the old dude and the break dancers be in the same thread?

4. Where did the whale costumes come from?

5. Are you really a citizen of Anchorage, or do you just play one on TV?

Thank you Mr. mthq (if that's even your real name).

[mthq]

Aww thanks guys.

xzmatt- these photos were taken from May to August

Ex-Ithacan - You know I had to get in my big-city-illusion-shots of Anchorage.. its mandatory! :D

(1) The fire was started by a plumber with his torch (accident, everybody is okay except for 1 cat), (2) The high heels were so she can dig herself into the ground in case a kite was about to take her into the air, (3) presidential candidate Mike Gravel loves hippity hop, dontcha know?? (4) The whale costumes came from Greenpeace, (5) I actually just play one on SSP, and my real name is Cornelius.

[FloridaChicago]

I like him.
I pictured Anchorage like that old picture in the window. Thanks for the update.

[ltsmotorsport]

Well mthq, you are the most important part of that 43% because you entertain us. Now DANCE!!! :whip:

[CanadianCentaur]

Unless I'm wrong, looks like those pics were taken during this summer, but those pics of Anchorage looks great!

I imagine all the deciduous trees in Anchorage must be in fall colours by now (A lot of trees here in Edmonton are already turning into fall colours now).

[ColDayMan]

Anchorage!!!

[CBBC]

nice show, I see the Oil industry has some towers downtown...never knew that.

[Jularc]

Ha, I never seen too much of Anchorage. Thanks.

[KevinFromTexas]

Awesome. Thanks a bunch, mthq. You even got the postcard shot I see. I actually have a postcard of that view.

[Ex-Ithacan]

Aww thanks guys.

Yep. Fall colors on the streets, rain, and snow on the mountains. No way Anchorage looks green right now.
