One of my older pictures from Bird Point, AK. I was just a little too late to catch the beluga whales coming up for air just on the other side of the log. By the time I got my camera set up they had already swam away.
The city lights of Anchorage, AK light the way home for travelers along the seward highway
Sunset over the Denali Highway
I had to climb down the steep embankement that is on the right. Then cross the spongy, wet sod that makes up the tundra. Once i got to the edge of the water a female mallard burst out of the tall grass. At the top of the steep embankement on the right is the dusty, rocky, pothole cover denali Highway.
Almost missed the sunrise this morning in Portage, Ak. The reds and crimson color started to fade right before I arrived. Pretty good sunrise for almost missing it.
This guy was in my backyard this afternoon pecking at one of the dog rawhides that was left out in the yard.
I think at one point in time there used to be a dock here at Eklutna lake. Pretty soon this scene will be ice and snow when winter arrives.
I know that some people will think that I added too much color to the sky. i actually did not add a thing. The sky was so amazing on this morning it actually made the news. A very weird morning because everything had a rose tint to it.
A quick trip down to Potter Marsh to take advantage of what has lately been a rare sighting of blue sky
Portage lake lit by waning gibbous moon.
In Alaska we call the first snowfall that shows up in the mountains termination dust. we consider it the end of summer and the beginning of Fall. This image was shot while the family and I were at the Matsu glacier.
This was taken this past Fall. I been so busy for the last few months that this image was buried and almost forgotten. This location is pretty amazing. You can't see it, but in the water are easily a hundred salmon spawning at the end of their long journey. In the trees to the right of this photo about a half dozen bald eagles are perched, waiting for a fish to catch their attention. You have to be very careful in this area around this time of the year because where there are large groups of salmon, there are bears. Fortunately/unfortunatley I did not see any on this trip.
The tracks of the Alaska Railroad sit under the spectacular milky way.
The fall colors along the Denali Highway as the sun sets with a purple light.
Was able to get to this location just in time to catch the sunrise colors. as an added bonus I also captured the reflection of the colorful morning
This old spruce caught my attention because of the moss covered branches. My wife thought that the branches looked like caribou antlers
morning solitude as I watch the sun rise. The sunrise colors briefly colored the sky before climbing higher above the clouds
Long exposure of Susitna river on the way to Hatchers pass
Testing out some different settings for night photography.
Alaska's Autumn landscape is a candy store for the senses. The smells of Autumn in the crisp cool air. The vibrant colors of the rapidly changing foilage.
My boys pulled their sled out onto the yard last week after we had a little snow fall. Unfortunately there wasn't enough snow to do anything with. A couple of days later all of the snow had melted. They left the sled out waiting for the next snow fall.
The right of way of the Alaska railroad, Today AKRR was performing maintenance on the track a few miles down. Knowing this I couldn't resist this shot. This was taken at the railroad crossing of twenty mile river
The transition from day to night. As a added bonus I captured the beginning of the northern lights.
The Northern lights can't wait for the sun to set before the show begins. The views from the Denali Highway are amazing.
Looking into Portage lake on a sunny morning this last autumn.
View from the top of the mountain at Summit Lake in Hatchers pass. The city lights of Anchorage are glowing at the base of the milky way as the sun sets to the right.
This was the beginning of a very colorful sunrise on Tuesday morning. I missed part of it because I had to take my kids to school. I was able to catch the beginning here and the end later on.
After a long night of chasing the Northern lights from Anchorage to Palmer I ended up back in Anchorage at Lake Hood around 2:00 in the morning
Milky way over Turnagain Arm seen from Beluga Point, AK
The dawn of a new day. I got my camera back from repair. I thought that it would be appropriate to post a sunrise picture as the first picture back from repair.
University lake sunrise, The family of beavers that lives at the lake have been busy, The shore line all the way around the lake looks like this. In an attempt to slow them down park maintenance crews put chicken wire around the base of trees. I think the beavers are winning.
This is the infamous Denali Highway. This is the highway that runs between Cantwell, AK and Paxson, AK.
The beginning of the solar storm a month ago. Taken along the Denali Highway.
It's all about the location. Snow capped mountains, milky way, northern lights, and a mountain top lake. Viewtiful.
The simple beauty of an amazing Alaskan autumn sunrise. Potter's Marsh, Anchorage, Alaska
My day trip to Spencer Glacier

This is the infamous Denali Highway. This is the highway that runs between Cantwell, AK and Paxson, AK.
The water cistern at Point woronzof has been covered in grafitti tags. The main culprits are graduating seniors that have made this part of their graduating bucket list. It definetely adds a little color to a dreary beach.
This lake is on the way to Portage lake. Yes the water really is that color turqouise. This lake is great for catching pictures of bald eagles and sometimes bears. The reason being is that this is the final destination for salmon that swim upstream to spawn and then die.
beautiful morning at Potter Marsh.
There is a whole lot going on on the other side of the tracks. This was the end of the amazing sunrise that we had here in Anchorage on Tuesday. The dark reds gave way to brillant pinks. Then the pinks fade to what you see in this picture.
Same image just in mono.
