Ice Caves, Mendenhall Glacier, Juneau, Alaska  – Image 2693

Ice Caves, Mendenhall Glacier, Juneau, Alaska – Image 2693

The approaching winter starts freezing up the local environment, and the ice caves under the Mendenhall Glacier become relatively safer to explore. Exploring the ice caves along the edge of a moving glacier is dangerous and probably not a recommended recreation. But with that said, a lot of ...

Auke Lake, Juneau, Alaska – Image 2692

The first snow fall happens in Juneau sometime in late October or early November. I love photographing Auke Lake. What makes this photo work for me is the mirror reflection of the house lights and snow capped mountains. I shot this photo in early November. After shooting this image, I returned ...

Field of Fireweed, Coast Mountains, Juneau – Image 2688

I have been watching this field of fireweed for years. The field is right by the pond next to Temsco at the airport. Twenty years ago this area barely had any fireweed. I can see this view from Egan Highway. The only problem is that as soon as I get out of the car and off the road, I lose ...
