Lol, that contraption looks like the death star meets winter time.

I agree with them. Our scenery is beautiful, but our buildings stick out like a sore thumb not complementing the background. I don't know why...most are old and unlike many other cities they haven't been bought and rebuilt or refurbished. Since the cruise ships have started the downtowns of those cities have received face lifts and restorations though. Ketchikan and Juneau are two examples. There are some beautiful Alaskan lodges and houses though.

Not pretty, but very functional. Typical of rural Alaska.

I completely depends upon your perspective.

In my opinion, there is nothing more beautiful than a one-room trappers cabin with 4 feet of snow on the roof, smoke coming out the chimney and a light in the window at 40 below zero.

That cabin can have rotting logs, a dirt floor, and mice hiding in the corners, but if it's warm and dry and the closest 5-star hotel is hundreds or thousands of miles away it seems like heaven on earth.

This is my little "Ugly" cabin just North of Mount McKinley Park, there is nobody living within forty miles of it, and I think it is the most beautiful place around when I am there.

I have a great view of Mt. McKinley from the front door looking across the lake, moose, bear, lynx, wolf, squrirels and a host of other critters outside the door.

I can land my plane next to the cabin and in general, have no other people around. I don't care for some place made of steel and concrete that the big cities have and call "Beautiful" when I am in the middle of God's cradle.

If you aren't happy in your own heart, the rest doesn't matter.
