A view of Denali, formerly known as McKinley. I caught this as the last little bit of sunlight was left. That is what the brightness is behind Denali. It was only there a second or two before it dissapeeared and as the Northern lights were slowly making their way from the right of the image. Denali, northern lights and the sunset are all being crowned by the milky way.
The is probably going to be the last night /aurora / milky way photo until this Fall. The nights are getting shorter and the days are getting longer. pretty soon we won't have enough darkness to take these beautiful night shots.
Seward small boat launch. Seward has some of the best sunrises in South central Alaska. If you zoom in on the boat launch area you will see the two sea otters that were hanging out on the ramp. It is the same sea otter from my last post
