Pink Salmon, Juneau, Alaska – Image 2453

Pink salmon return to Gastineau Salmon Hatchery at Salmon Creek. Pink salmon eggs are taken in the summer, raised at the hatchery and then released. The salmon are harvested when they return in two years. I took the photo through the glass viewing window in the fish ladder leading up to the hatchery collection tanks.

Tracy Arm-Fords Terror Wilderness – Image 2452

Glacier blue ice provides one of nature’s most vivid color displays. Snowflakes or snow crystals become glacier ice when compressed under the weight of continuous snowfalls over hundreds of years. The massive weight of the ice pushes out any tiny air pockets between the crystals, producing an extremely dense, clear, air-free ice. This ice absorbs all the colors of the light spectrum except blue which is reflected off the ice giving it the intense blue color. This photo illustrates page ...

A naturalist onboard the Wilderness Adventurer, showers under the Hole in the Wall Falls in Tracy Arm. The cliff walls along the fjord walls often drop straight down hundreds of feet below the water’s surface allowing the boats to get incredibly close to the rock walls and the waterfalls plunging down from some 2,000 feet above. This photo illustrates page 23 of my book, Alaska’s Tracy Arm and Sawyer Glaciers. Camera: Nikon F/5, Lens: 35-70mm f/2.8 Nikkor, Film 35mm Velvia slide ...

Harbor Seals, Tracy Arm-Fords Terror Wilderness – Image 2450

More than a 1,000 harbor seals use the icebergs close to the glacier fronts as haul-outs in Tracy Arm. The icebergs afford the seals protection for land predators such as wolves and their only marine predators, killer whales. The most concentrated use of the icebergs is in front of South Sawyer Glacier. This photo illustrates the back cover of my book, Alaska’s Tracy Arm and Sawyer Glaciers.

Totem, Sitka National Historic Park, Sitka, Alaska – Image 2448

A totem reaches skyward in the temperate rain forest surrounding the Sitka Historic National Park. The park is full of replicas of totem poles collected from Prince of Wales Island. The totems line the path through the 104 acre park that is the site of the 1804 Battle of Sitka between the local Tlingit Indians and colonizing Russians. This photo illustrates a card in my collection of blank 5x7 inch photo note cards called Coho Photo Notes. Camera: Nikon F/5, Lens: 20-35mm f/2.8 Nikkor, ...
