Snow is gone from the valley but considerable remains at higher elevation on Lazy Mountain which occupies most of the background center of the image.

The small Alaska town of Palmer takes on a picturesque character as it sits under a blanket of snow on a clear winter day between a homesteader's farm in the foreground and glacier-carved mountains beyond.
This winter color view of Palmer is seen from the hill on the west side of John Bugge's homestead looking east. In foreground are some of Bugge's fields and log buildings. In far middle ground are many buildings located in the business district of the city. Lazy Mountain and Beyer's Peak dominate the background. All is covered in snow under a sunny, blue-sky day.

When comparing this photo to similar earlier images taken from the same location, changes in management of the foreground homestead are apparent and additional buildings added to the town can be identified.
This color image is a summer view of buildings in Palmer as seen from the hill on the west side of John Bugge's homestead. The green fields in foreground exhibit invasion of trees and the absence of fences and long-standing log structures indicate changes in management of the homestead from that indicated in earlier similar photos. Buildings of the town in middle ground, such as the Co-op grain elevator, indicate the photo was taken some time in the late 1960's or early 1970's. The mountains in background are greened up with snow remnants only in minor deep shaded gulleys indicating summer is well along.
