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.
Beautiful golden Autumn colors decorate Denali National Park
Autumn on the tundra is a bright beautiful sight to see. There are splashes of color everywhere. The morning air is crisp. The view is amazing.
Beautiful colors and perfect light to capture Autumn at Granite Creek, Alaska
The downtown Anchorage cemetery is in no way a dreary place.
Explored Eklutna lake today. Surprisingly I got here before all the tourist arrived. I literally had the place to myself. These are the canoes that are for rent for people to explore the lake. Interesting note. Eklutna lake is the water supply for Anchorage. Eklutna is a glacial fed lake.
I took this same shot at the beginning of last Summer. Still a beautiful place, but with a lot less green
Morning sunrise at Portage Lake hidden by a thick fog. I normally hate foggy days. I decided that I would go out and make lemonade out of the lemons the weather was offering
Early morning light shining down on the tundra of Denali National Park.
I was drawn to this scene because of the spruce trees. The way the sunrise was hitting the trees made them look like a crowd gathered to watch rising sun.
Went out exploring new landscapes this evening. I eventually ended up in forest of Sutton, AK. The fall colors are really starting to take off.
The golden colors of the tree are intensified by the rising sun. The Anchorage cemetery is vibrant with falls colors.
Mirror Lake, Alaska
There are many homes in Alaska that look like this. That is one heck a driveway
One of the most beautiful times of the year in Alaska. When there is color everywhere. This time of the year is when the clouds are also very dramatic when they aren't raining. This image was taken just south of Cantwell, Alaska
Pretty cool lenticular clouds forming over the mountain range of Denali national park near Savage Creek, AK.
The view was incredible from every directions
Amazing range of vibrant colors on the forest floor.
I stopped by Virgin creek falls while on my trip to Portage. This location is always beautiful no matter how many times I go here.
Stopped off at Mirror Lake while on the drive back home today. I always forget how beautiful and still this lake can be.
The Fall colors along the Parks Highway were so vibrant.
Small pond along the Denali Highway, AK. Just outside of Cantwell, AK
A peek-a-boo view through the vibrant Fall colors of the mountains bordering the Denali Highway.
A beautiful bridge out a Spencer Glacier.
Unknown path deep in the woods of southcentral Alaska.
Bird hunting in the fog.

Smoke from the nearby wildfires fills the air with constant haze.
Denali Highway - Autumn
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.
