The Denali State Bank building in downtown Fairbanks used to be St. Joseph’s Hospital. The photographer (Doug Montgomery) and many other lifelong Fairbanks residents were born there. It was converted to a bank in the mid 1980’s.
The Chena Marina float pond receives planes throughout the summer months, and snowmachiners play there in the winter. Many local pilots own land around the pond, and some live there full time. Notice the sign - I know a few pilots that have Labradors and other water dogs; I bet they have a heck of a time keeping them out of the float planes’ way! (photo by Doug Montgomery)

I want to enthusiastically thank all my friends who contributed photos from this weekend for rallying during my hiatus! Way to go guys!
