Location (estimated from maps and description)[edit]

Camera location	64° 41′ 49.34″ N, 147° 06′ 21.49″ W	View this and other nearby images on: OpenStreetMap	64.697040; -147.105970

Evidence:

• Glowing spot in background could be lights at Bear Lake FamCamp, 64°42′6.73″N 147°6′51.84″W / 64.7018694°N 147.1144°W / 64.7018694; -147.1144. That that's Bear Lake FamCamp can be seen by following the map link from [1]
• Forest to left
• Scattered trees in approximately the right positions on the right
• Lake would be frozen over and snowcovered in January.
• Plenty of forests to make something like that background.

Problems: Not quite sure the forests would form the dark line in the distance from there, due to the peninsula that I'm guessing the glow comes from. It's hard to be certain, but it seems at least possible. Adam Cuerden (talk) 02:46, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
