Chugach National Forest, near Seward, Alaska.
Another recent image from our beautiful snowy winter!
Lost Lake Cabin
Lost Lake Cabin, Chugach National Forest, Alaska.
This public use cabin looks funny in the summer because it is perched so high in the air. Now, it is easy to see why!
This cabin was renovated last summer – looks great. We have stayed here in the past during the winter – the view from here looking down on Resurrection Bay and Seward is spectacular!
Lost Lake Trail
Sunrise along the Lost Lake Trail, Chugach National Forest, Alaska.
I love to run in these hills and usually try to go twice a week in the summer and once a week in the winter. I usually leave my camera behind and just enjoy the exercise and experience – but every now and then I bring along my camera and tripod like I did last Friday morning. I headed up about an hour before sunrise – it was sure a beautiful morning!
Summit Lake Cabins
A couple of cabins on Lower Summit Lake, Chugach National Forest, Alaska.
The continuation of an on going video assignment for an visitor center film had me out in the field all day yesterday, and with all the fresh new snow, it was sure a beautiful day! When I came across this wonderful alpenglow at sunset, I had to grab a couple of “stills” – see I can even talk like a videographer. 🙂
Here is what is looks like in the summer: Summit Lake.
Winter Glow
Winter mountains, Chugach National Forest, from Seward, Alaska.
Well I thought I would give you a break from the Hawaii photos and share something from Alaska. I captured this from my front yard yesterday afternoon looking across the bay from Seward. Recent heavy snowfall has the mountains looking (in the words of Tony the Tiger) “just great”! Well, he says something about great, you get the idea.
Off to Hawaii!
Watching northern lights, near Seward, Alaska.
We had a great northern lights show last month – and this parking lot about 12 miles from Seward was very busy despite the late hour, as locals drove out of town to watch nature’s amazing show!
This should be the last of the Alaska photos I’ll share here for awhile. Sunday, we board a plane and head to Hawaii! I’m really excited – haven’t been there in over 17 years. We will spend 4 nights in Waikiki before heading to Kauai. We will stay in Kauai for 3 to 6 nights – we will decide once we get there. I have made arrangements for a door-less helicopter charter – I love flying and shooting from a helicpoter with the doors off, it should be a great way to photograph the remote Na Pali coast. Then, for the last two weeks we will be in Maui.
I hope to keep the blog updated with Hawaii photos while traveling, but it might be tougher then normal as we will only have one laptop and keeping up with business is always a priority. And, I’ll need to spend extra time scouting as most of it will be new to me – and, a fun place to be scouting! So, hopefully I’ll have something to share on Monday or Tuesday!
Northern Lights, Kenai Lake
Northern lights over Kenai Lake, Alaska.
This was about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday night – what a great show! I had been out the night before until about 2:00 a.m., and didn’t get anything, so it was nice to have some success this night. Since this is typically a winter event – getting a reflection in unfrozen water was kind of a nice bonus.
