Happy Vernal Equinox! Today marks the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and we just passed 12 hours of daylight here in South Central Alaska. I decided to leave my home turf yesterday and explore Portage Valley, south of Girdwood. A friend and I skied up toward Byron Glacier. The skies were clear and the wind was ripping, which made for some interesting scenic images with my telephoto lens. At 400mm, I could isolate the top of Bard Peak and focus on the lines & textures. Black & white always brings an ethereal mood to a wind-blown landscape.
March Sunrise on Eagle River
Good morning from Eagle River Valley. I woke early today to catch the sunrise, hiked out a couple miles to the river and set up on this nice spot with open water and ice shelves. With spring approaching, the river ice is opening up and changing dramatically every day.
