Alaskan Potpourri

The Modern Age

I've been trying to get good pictures of the aurora borealis since I started carrying a camera. I've used the tripod and self timer. I bought several fancy cameras. I put myself in Alaska, Iceland, Western Canada in Spring and Autumn. I've had some success, but it took a lot of effort.

A week ago on my birthday, I saw one of the top three light shows of my life.

These images are handheld on a moving ship, at night, with my phone set to night mode. I was astonished at the results. It is so easy.

Too be fair, I did edit these images with software, mostly to brighten them up.

What an age we live in.

Seascapes

I have a long standing love affair with sea scapes. Here's a few more love stories.

One Perfect Waterfall

Reflection

One day I hope to be able to paint reflections like this.

Zig Zag Light

May Light In Sitka

In my opinion, Sitka looks at its best in early May.

The Vividity Of Skunk Cabbage

I bet skunk cabbage honey tastes terrible.

Interesting Slime!

I still have no idea what this is. My best guess is that a slime mold is sporing.

Scenes From Inside

This is about three weeks worth of beautiful views. This is every image I have I thought you might like to see. Every day has a moment, you know? Take a look.
