Here are some more pictures from the two months which my husband and I recently spent working in Nome, Alaska. Today I thought I’d share some pictures of the town square, which is called Anvil City Square. The town square is adorned with several items which honor the town’s gold mining history (a giant gold pan, gold dredge buckets, statues of the people who first discovered the gold, and information signs) and the famous Iditarod sled dog race (statues and information signs), which ends in Nome. You can find more pictures of Nome in Part I here. Enjoy!
For those who don’t know, this is what a gold dredge looks like:
I’ll be writing more about some of Nome’s gold dredges in a later post, so stay tuned!
That’s all for now– hope you enjoyed!
Lovely to see the clouds in Alaska, that looks so much like they do here in Sweden. The weather seems to be the same too…
I am just sitting here looking for information about the three Swedes, and came upon your blog.
Hope you enjoyed your trip and have many more to come.
