Moonbow on a cold winter night in Alaska.
Perfect sunrise in the Perfect State of Alaska. Alaska is Beautiful!

Spectacular winter solstices sunrise taken at Indian, Alaska
This was the the Old Glenn Highways river crossing. It was replaced years ago with a more modern bridge that sits to the left of this bridge.g
I get a sense of peace when looking at this image. To me this image is very calming. While similar to my previous shot taken at the same spot , this one mentally touches me differently. This image was shot along the Turnagain Highway October of 2022
I finally made it to this spot for sunrise. I saw this spot years ago and thought how I would like to someday capture the sunrise at this spot. I can now say mission accomplished! Alaska is Beautiful!
Just a random mountain that caught my eye while in Whitter, Alaska
Who's ready for winter? Here in Anchorage the mountain tops are covered in a light dusting of snow. Sooner than later the snow will make its way down to the Anchorage bowl. I personally am not ready for winter.
The view from the seward highways first rest stop. The chain link fence was installed last summer by the Alaska Railroad to keep people off of the tracks. Now this is the view that you see of the Turnagain arm.
Beautiful but very cold morning at the Eagle river nature center with my family. It was too cold to spend too much time outside. I was able to capture a few shots from the boardwalk before we had to head back to the car
The top of the Chugach mountain range gets to feel the first bit of sunlight.
Beautiful 9 am sunrise over Turnagain Arm. I actually shot this image while driving down the Seward highway towards Portage. I had a particular spot in mind that I wanted to get to before it was too late, but I also wanted to capture this composition.
Pioneer Peak under the moonlight.
Sunrise photo taken along Winner Creek trail looking up at the 7 glaciers restaurant. This was a sunrise shot that I had really been wanting to capture. This was my third attempt. The first two times the I failed because of rain and fog.
Light at the end of the tunnel
The cloud formation looks like a vortex to me. The skiers look as if they are preparing to ski down the mountain and across the clouds
For this moment in time the world is at peace. Nothing else exist except for the beauty of nature that stands before me. For those few minutes before the sun rises above the mountains the world is perfect.
I had to get low for this one. I really wanted the grasses to frame the bottom of the shot . I felt like the sky needed some color on the foreground to balance out the image. Alaska is Beautiful!

A shot i took this last winter of the the last light highlighting the top of the mountain.
Wanted to rework this image that I had previously posted. This image was taken during last winter's solstice. I had intended that morning to drive to Portage to take sunrise photos. It took me longer to drive than expected. I ended up having to pull over to this rest stop along the Seward highway.
Alyeska skier getting a great ride and a beautiful view of the setting sun over Turnagain Arm.
Aleyska ski resort in Girdwood, Alaska. Took a chance even though it was raining in Girdwood. Luckily I happened to take this shot during a brief period when it wasn't raining. I think that it turned out ok.
Another day another sunrise. This shot was taken along Seward Highway, looking over Turnagain Arm in Alaska. I took 15 vertical images and combined them to create this 117 megapixel panorama. In other words this would be great as a large print mounted on your living room wall.
The beginning of my spontaneous road trip. Catching the sunrise on the Kenai Penisula mountains.
The wind swept landscape of Beluga Point. This is an older picture from a few years ago. I really liked this one because of how the wind has blown the snow away creating leading lines in the direction of the gorgeous sunrise.
The colors of sunset on the southwest facing peak in Girdwood, Alaska
This is the last shot in the series. I was actually headed back to the car. I turned around to get one last to get one last look and saw this. I then had to scramble to get my gear set up before I missed the shot. Half a minute later it was gone.
