Bald Eagle, Iceberg, Holkham Bay, Tracy Arm, AK #3380

Photographing bald eagles perched on icebergs provides a visually striking contrast to their normal hang-out in the dense, rich-green Sitka spruce forest of the Tongass National Forest. Alaska and Canada are the only two places in the world to witness this phenomenon. One of the best and most accessible places in Alaska to go to is Holkham Bay in Tracy Arm in late May and early June. Icebergs get stuck on the terminal moraine, rock and rubble pile deposited at a glacier’s furthest advance, ...

Tracy Arm-Fords Terror Wilderness, Alaska #3379

Is there anyone who does not love the deep blue colors of glacier ice? In this image a small iceberg floats next to a larger iceberg, showing some of the incredible shades of glacier blue. These wonderful blues come from the crystalline structure unique to glacier ice. Glacier ice is not created by water freezing, but by layers of snow compacting together over hundreds or thousands of years. The immense weight of all the snow that falls in a year compresses the old snow underneath into ...

Aurora Borealis, Juneau, Alaska #3378

This photo was taken from the Mayflower Island causeway next to Sandy Beach looking down Gastineau Channel in Juneau, Alaska. What is unusual about this photo is that I took it facing south. Northern lights usually get more intense the closer one gets to the Arctic Circle, about 570 miles north of Juneau.

The Alaska Grizzly Bar, Juneau, Alaska #3377

The Alaska Grizzly Bar, Juneau, Alaska #3377

When Juneau’s annual Public Market got cancelled due to COVID, I went looking for outdoor locations where I could sign and sell my 2021 calendars. The first place that came to mind was the Griz Bar, Juneau’s newest sensation and an open-air bar. Also known as the Alaska Grizzly Bar, the Griz opened this past summer and is located across from the downtown library and parking garage. I approached Jake Haas, one of the owners and a long-time family friend, about signing at the Griz Bar during ...
