Auke Bay Winter Docks, Alaska – Image 2586

I photographed this scene after a week of below-zero temperatures. The water was over 50 degrees warmer than the air, creating the steam rising from the harbor while the extreme tidal action prevented the harbor from freezing over. The sunrise lit the steam, giving the scene its rich warm ...

Salmonberries, Granite Creek, Alaska – Image 2585

Salmonberries are my favorite trailside hiking snack. They are loaded with water and do not hold up well in a bucket when picked-so I eat as I go. I usually never set up a photo, but I noticed this green moss pad and stream at my feet while picking salmonberries. I knew the color splash of ...

Sawmill Creek, Berners Bay, Alaska – Image 2582

Brown Bears, Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska – Image 2581

I shot this image with my 500mm lens (equivalent of a 750mm) off the top deck of a Cruise West boat in May of 2007. I was on board as the leader of a week long photo cruise. The ship was passing by Gloomy Knob which is usually great for mountain goat shots in May. We stumbled upon this ...
