Photography-Life in Alaska-Random Thoughts
Photography highlighting Alaska, the most beautiful place on earth.
The aurora didn't end up doing much at all here in Bear Valley last night, but Oh My God, the stars and Milky Way were incredible. It always amazes me how much more the camera can see than the naked eye. These were 20-30 second exposures. Click to view full-screen.
As strong as it got around 11pm. A night flight heading to an early Thanksgiving dinner?
Just a hint of aurora and the Milky Way rising up behind the house.
Straight up, bathed in starlight.
How can you not love seeing this on the horizon? We're having another long stretch of Denali views, which are much more frequent in the winter than for visitors during the summer. This is one of the payments for living here year round :)

Felt good to be back out on a sunny day taking pictures. Still barely any snow on the ground here in Anchorage. This is the third year in a row where there hasn't been enough to cross-country ski before Thanksgiving. Last year, we never did get to ski once on the groomed trails, because there never was enough snow the entire season. No snow is starting to feel like the new normal here.

The Super Moon setting early this morning.
The mountain is really out this afternoon, glowing in the setting sun. Tonight hoping for clear skies and strong aurora.
