It's unique, there's no doubt about it, and easily worth coming up at least once in a lifetime just to see it. I wish that I'd caught the alpenglow on the Chugach, the range behind downtown in that picture. When the sun sets on a clear day, those mountains light up like they're on fire. Yesterday was so nice that I ended up riding about 20 miles out of my way going home, out along the Coastal Trail and back. I was so mesmerized by the views that I didn't think to grab the camera until after the sun had set.
