Scidmore Bay, Glacier Bay National Park, Southeast Alaska – Image 2377

I shot this photo around 5:30am. I was on a trip with Alaska Discovery andwas up early looking for models to work this scene. This women woke up fora bathroom break and a grabbed her for this photo before letting her go backto sleep. The first light of the morning is so precious, but most peopleusually sleep through this time of day. This photo illustrates the month ofMay in my 2005 Southeast Alaska Calendar and on page 12 of my book onGlacier Bay.
