Nothing really special about this composition. I was just driving around Anchorage taking random shots of random things, people and scenery. This one caught my eye because I liked how the sunlight was shining through the clouds and reflecting off of the road. Even with the warmth of the sunlight this image still feels chilly, to me. Maybe because I know that before too long this scenery will be covered in snow.
The ghost forest of Portage. The ground along the shore of Turnagain Arm sank as much as 30 feet during the 1964 Alaska earthquake. The town of Portage and the surrounding forest was completely flooded by water. All that remains of the town of Portage are a caved in mechanics garage and groves of these dead trees. The trees remain standing because the have been preserved by the salt water that flooded the roots.
Potter Marsh can have some of the best sunrises. This particular shot was taken a year ago right around Autumn. I originally worked on this picture, but had multiple issue proccessing it. The most major issue was that the colors were way too saturated right out of the camera. So anything and evertything I did to the image on intensified the saturation issue. Fast forward to a year and some months later. I was easily able get a proccess the image.
This is the end of the matsu glacier. A massive trail of ice leading down from the mountains. At first glance it looks like a small pile of dirt and ice. If you zoom in on the left side of the glacier and scan until you run into people it will some perspective on the size of this little pile of ice.
