Photography-Life in Alaska-Random Thoughts
Photography highlighting Alaska, the most beautiful place on earth.
We had a pretty decent display around 3am this morning, but the winds were howling with gusts near 50mph. Some of the shots you can see the blurry treetops caused by the wind. Even with a heavy tripod it was hard to keep the stars in good focus because of the vibration. Click on images for full-screen.
It’s only the second time I’ve been able to shoot aurora this winter. We had a short display right around midnight that didn’t last very long, and wasn’t terribly vibrant, but it’s still wonderful to see the lights dancing in the night sky. Click on images for full-screen.
We almost never get to see Orcas in Turnagain Arm near Anchorage. Traffic was stopped at McHugh Creek as I was driving down to Seward, and no wonder. The last time I saw any Orcas in Turnagain Arm was 1990. A nice sized family group with what looked like a couple of youngsters.

We hardly ever get to see Ermines around the house, so it was a treat to have one hanging out in our scrap-wood pile this morning.
