Mendenhall Glacier, Mendenhall Lake, Alaska – Image 2583

The air in Juneau is really blue on clear fall days after long periods of rain. On just such a day, I headed out to the glacier on an early morning photo quest to catch the blue-bird sky above the glacier. I had no idea I would find a mirror reflection. I shot this scene by the raft loading area on MendenhallLake.The 2009 Juneau’s Calendar is my 20th anniversary issue and features a look back over the years of photos showcasing some of my favorites from the past 20 years.
