Wow! I wish I was still' young! These girls are in high school. I was trying to find a winter picture and I asked students if they could give me a picture of a winter scene. I didn't expect this one! I asked "Why you guys laying on the snow?" and Annette Nick answered "We were looking at the stars". I was so impressed by their leisure activity at night that I asked her to mail it to me and give me permission to post it in my blog. I wish I was still' in high school. So many fond memories came to mind. Especially about hanging out outside at night and walking around at night with nothing to do. The weather has been so warm that the common trails continue to be dangerous to travel on. Usually kids just snow machine ride within the village or travel between Nunap, Kasigluk, and Atmautluak. They are just fifteen to twenty minutes on a snow machine and the common trails are usually like a high way by now. What do kids do for fun in a village? I'll let your imagination ponder on that. Happy Holidays Everyone!!

Ah, youth!
Great photo! Thanks for sharing.
I love reading your blog because you always have such interesting things to share with us. And Great photos too! I rember going to Ohio when I was 12 and the stars were out in the summer sky--- really weird! My reletives were horrified that we were still running around at 10 pm, but for us it was just barely time to start winding down the day. Theresa
What an interesting photo. Now a days kids are too busy with technology that a simple star gazing activity is not thought of.
I wish I were a youth again, what fun I had with my friends.
