Anchorage is a coast town located at the Cook Inlet bay and with around 290.000 inhabitants it is the largest city in in the US northernmost state Alaska. Recommended for visiting is the Alaska Native Heritage Center and the surrounding breathtaking nature. The city is the gateway to nearby wilderness areas and mountains such as the Chugach, Kenai and Talkeetna Mountains. Of course, there is also beautiful urban art here, especially the local artist ZIGGY has created countless large murals as well as smaller works of art across the city. These are often designed to match the locality or with images from historical events of the region. ZIGGY‘s mission is to beautify the city and especially Downtown with colorful art. Here’s a collection of great creations from Anchorage taken by photographer SANDRA BORGEMEHN.
