Gorgeous colors after the sun has set over Fire Island in the Cook Inlet near Anchorage, AK
The last little bit of sun peeks over the mountian range. The beautiful light and the amazing patterns in the mudflats made for a perfect sunset picture. This was shot from the Glenn Alps/Flat top hillside using my 150-600mm Tamron.According to Google maps the distance is around 47 miles to the mountains
Funny story about this picture. As I rushed to get into position to capture the colors reflecting off of the snow I found a soft spot in the snow. I knew better because as I was walking I noticed that I could see a little sprig of spruce sticking out of the snow. If you didn't know that means that there is a hollow pocket of under and around what is a buried spruce tree. As I was thinking that I probably shouldn't step there I sunk up to my armpits. I'm 6'3". I didn't want to miss the shot so I took this picture while up to my armpits in snow.
