Photography-Life in Alaska-Random Thoughts
Photography highlighting Alaska, the most beautiful place on earth.
Finally! On the third night of staying up waiting for aurora that was forecast to be only so-so, this happened! Shot between 12:15 am and 2 am. The really intense blast of swirls, curtains, spikes and pink colors only lasted about 3 minutes. What a fun morning! Click for full-screen.
So I spent the second night in a row getting up every half-hour checking the sky for what was supposed to be another strong aurora display. The night before was a complete bust. Finally just before 4 am this morning she started popping a bit low on the horizon.
Gorgeous clear skies this afternoon with Alpenglow painting the Chugach Mountains orange as the sun sets while the moon rises.
Another day of ice fog filling the Anchorage Bowl below us. The trees are covered with thick hoar-frost that keeps growing every day.
Kissed my wife at the stroke of midnight, walked out into the living room to watch the tradition of illegal fireworks over the Anchorage bowl and instead found a nice light show in the sky! Not as strong as the night before, but I'll take it. Here's hoping each of you has a wonderful 2017 filled with love, laughter, adventure, family, and friends. I'm going to keep taking pictures.
