Alaska, Dog Mushing, Juneau Icefield #3362

Alaska, Dog Mushing, Juneau Icefield #3362

In the 1880’s Mark Twain was so awed by his first site of a glacier that he wrote, “A man who keeps company with glaciers comes to feel tolerably insignificant by and by.” In this image I was trying to visibly illustrate his comment depicting the insignificance of humans in the vastness of ...

Humpback Whale Tail, Juneau, Alaska #3361

Last Thursday, on October 1, the skies cleared and the ocean calmed, a rare combination in this part of the world famous for fall storms that soak us. I took advantage of the moment and hopped on a large open skiff with my friends, Paul and Rick, to look for humpback whales. There was plenty ...

Moosehead Lake, Juneau, Alaska #3360
