Some years the Seward Highway sees a plethora of Lupine. Some years there are barely any. I'm thankful that there are plenty this year. This shot was taken during sunset on 5/26/2022 along Turnagain Arm, Alaska
What started out as a trip to Hatcher Pass to go hiking ended up turning into a Sunday drive. We discovered that our new dog Ula'Ula gets car sick VERY easy. We almost made it to Independence Mine, but we ended up having to cut our trip short and drive home.
Gold cord lake. The water is so clear that you can see all the way to the bottom in most spots. The lake gets deeper further back. Towards the back the water turns a blue/green color.
What is left of Byron glacier in Portage, Alaska. In a little over a decade the glacier has retreated from the valley floor below to where it sits now, at the top of the mountain. Even in it's diminished state it is still a magnificient sight.
All the melting snow coming down from the mountains has created some very fast moving creeks and rivers. I couldn't get any closer due to all the spray from the waterfall. This was shot in Whittier, Alaska.
Another beautiful sunset on Baranof Island. The fireweed starting to flower is the unofficial countdown to our first snowfall. It can snow at any time once the blooms reach the top of the freweed stem
Random hiker walking back to his vehicle. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to include him in my shot with the field of lupine. This was shot at 10:15pm, just before sunset in the Portage, Alaska
Kind of strange to see the Seward Highway this empty. In a couple of days there will be vehicles almost bumper to bumper. Most of the drivers will be heading to Seward, Alaska to participate or watch the Mount Marathon race
