Dreams

The sky explodes in the colors of the northern lights at Angel Rocks. Multiple bands and ribbons of green and pink in the twilight sky with light on the horizon.

Autumn in Denali National Park

Mountains south of the Park Road in Denali National Park and Preserve. "Rivers" of yellow wind through the red foliage and "lakes" of green spruce dot the hillsides. I have yet to find a place that I would prefer to be in autumn, even though the season here is incredibly short. The splendid colors only hang around for about a week before the deciduous leaves fall, followed shortly by the snow.

Autumn's Winter

An early snowfall fell in September of 2013 in Fairbanks. The foliage was just coming into peak and the oranges and yellows were beautifully covered in a bit of white. I would not mind if snow fell every year on autumn leaves.

Reflection

I was walking home from work and saw a really amazing reflection in Ballaine Lake. It took on a different life and perspective completely when flipped.

Worthington Glacier

Orange Sunrise

Near the horizon the oranges were dominant. You can see a bit of that cool arctic blue/green in the sky.

Iceberg

Windy Day

Wind blown mountains in the Alaska Range.

Peak Sunrise

The pastels turn fiery as the Sun nears the horizon. Taken on the Alaska Dog Musher's Association trail system on the Creamer's Field Migratory Bird Refuge. It's sunrises like these that keep me going in the dark winter here.
