ALASKA

Aurora Borealis
Captured this amazing light show on our latest trip to Alaska, one has to experience watching northern lights paint the sky as it's a feeling or phenomenon that no words can describe nor any pictures can do justice. I tried to capture the intensity in the light through this 30 second exposure.

On this hike we started out dry but once we were half way up the rain and wind picked up and continued all night, we scrambled once we got to the lake quickly to find a spot with some tree cover from howling 35+mph winds...we slept on and off waking up to heavy rain and gusts of wind putting a question in our mind...will the tent hold up? Luckily we made it through the night without any problems and woke up to fast moving clouds and a still lake with reflections all around. I started taking some pictures before the weather turned again and to my surprise this brilliant show of light started through a small opening as the sun came up highlighting some peaks and near by mountains. We spend some more time after exploring the place and had to pack up again after the rain picked up. Ihshank was a little champ through the rain and all along the hike enjoying the scenery and our company. A great adventure to remember for sure.

Alaska This peaceful scenery was not so peaceful just an hour before and after I made this picture. We will remember this hike and that night forever, had to be one of the biggest storm that we had to weather all night while camping in a tent. Our tent held up pretty good and luckily Ihshank was able to sleep well, but for us the thought that the tent might not hold up cost us half a nights sleep. But in the end it was totally worth it, the storm cleared up and we had this amazing light show and a calm lake for just couple of hours before we had to hurry and pack up from another incoming storm.
