Project 64: Cadet Blue, Forest Green, and Raw Sienna

I had no way to post during our vacation, but occasionally I was able to get on the internet long enough to read email. If it was the weekend, I checked the color of the week for Project 64 so I could keep my eye out for the colors.

The most recent color was Cadet Blue, which is really as gray as it is blue. On our last day in Fairbanks, we took a paddleboat tour down the Chena River until it meets the Tanana River. Since glacier deposits color the Tanana River a steel gray color (Cadet Blue) there is an interesting marbling effect where the rivers meet.

Our lovely guide at a recreated Athabascan Indian village wore a native dress (I didn’t write down the name of it)–also in a print that was mostly Cadet Blue. Here she is demonstrating a horn used to call moose into the area.

Forest Green was everywhere in Alaska. This photo was taken outside of Skagway on our way to Klondike Summit.

Raw Sienna was also evident in lots of places. Here it is in a woodpile ready to heat a home during the long, cold Alaskan winters.
