Iceberg, Tracy Arm, Alaska #3125

Iceberg, Tracy Arm, Alaska #3125

I love traveling to Tracy Arm, which is just a day trip from Juneau. I think I have visited almost all the tidewater glaciers in Alaska, and in my mind Tracy Arm offers the best glacier blue ice experience anywhere. The light of a cloudy overcast day works really well for accentuating the blue ...
Cow and Calf Moose, Denali National Park, Alaska #3124

Cow and Calf Moose, Denali National Park, Alaska #3124

Just like the image of the rainbow in the waters around Juneau in the previous post, this image of a cow and calf moose hung around for a number of years before I found a place for it. I am happy it found a spot as the April image in my 2020 Alaska Calendar. I often shoot around 10,000 images ...

Grizzly Bear, Gates of the Arctic NP, Alaska #3120

A grizzly walks down the Noatak River in front of the rugged Brooks Range Mountains on a beautiful autumn evening in Gates of the Arctic National Park. The light in the image is the light that photographers dream of. Just minutes after taking this photo the light completely disappeared from ...

“As a kid in Buffalo, New York, I always wondered what it would be like to encounter a whale,” says Mark Kelley. Learn more about Mark…
