HAPPY HOLIDAYS #3373

Eldred Rock Lighthouse is 55 miles north of Juneau and 17 miles south of Haines in North Lynn Canal. Built in 1905, the lighthouse sits in front of the stunning Chilkat Range mountains. I have lived in Juneau for more than 45 years and have always wanted to photograph this site in the middle of a winter storm with the raging winds whipping up white-capped seas. I booked a room on the state ferry during a January storm. The ferry left Juneau in the middle of the night and when I woke up, I was greeted with this amazing pink sky tableau. I had not expected, nor could I have ever imagined such a light. It was a gift from the heavens. It is good to be lucky. This image is featured in the 2025 Alaska Calendar, now available at markkelley.com and in your Juneau stores. Thank you for visiting and for the gift of your time, enjoy!
