Paradise Peak

One of the spectacular views on the way to Seward. I love seeing the way the low winter sun illuminates mountain faces while leaving other slopes in the dark.

Risen Reflections

Another weekend adventure into the heart of Alaska turned up another photographic gem. Several friends and I snowmachined out to Tanada Lake in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park to ice fish and camp. This morning as the sun came up and the fog lifted, with a still winds God revealed this scene. This evening I have scoured several maps looking for the name of the creek in the foreground and the mountain peak in the background but couldn't find any such names. This isn't uncommon for Alaska so with it being Easter morning when I took this photo a more appropriate name came to mind.

A Lite Frosting

Driving here in Alaska can reveal new beauty at every turn. Just when you thought you have seen it all, God puts a new decoration on the landscape.

Shrouded

A spring snow along Turnagain Pass lightly frosts the trees and shrouds the mountains with clouds.

Knik River

Coal Creek

Coal Creek has its headwaters in the mountains at the center of the photo. It then dumps into the Matanuska River at the left side of the photo.

Fall Colors in Alaska

I've been promising to take my wife for a drive to see the fall colors. I'm glad I didn't put it off any longer. The Matanuska Valley was awash with amazingly vivid colors.

Fall or Winter

The birch trees are turning color while the hill behind them are covered with frost and the mountains are covered with snow.

Above the Fog

I took this photo this morning between Eureka and Sheep Mountain. The roads were icy and the views gorgeous.

The falling rain and fog helps soften this image.

Is It Spring Yet

The Last Bit of Summer

Late August and the Green leaves are short lived in Alaska.

Overlooking Cordova

This spruce forest is on Mt Eyak overlooking Corova, Alaska. A very nice early fall scene.
