Moon-Lit Mendenhall Glacier, Juneau, Alaska #3126

I have always dreamed of lighting up the Mendenhall Glacier for a night shot. Of course, the only way I could figure out how to do this was to wait for a clear Juneau night sky along with a full moon. At the end of November, two years ago, I was out on a frozen Mendenhall Lake, waiting in ...

Mendenhall Glacier, Juneau, Alaska #3127

During clear and full-moon nights, when I was younger, I would ski or snowshoe up Spaulding Meadows, past the John Muir cabin, and then up to Auk Mountain to wait for the moon to rise here in Juneau, Alaska. This night in January it was especially cold, maybe zero degrees Fahrenheit, and the ...

Thanks for the overwhelming response to the whale photo I posted yesterday. It was my favorite from the shoot. I would like to share just one more. After feeding all summer in Antarctica the southern hemisphere humpbacks travel to the tropical waters in and around the South Pacific to mate and ...
