Wildflowers (Wild Sweet Pea, Hedysarum Mackenzii) and icebergs, Nizina Lake and Nizina Glacier, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, Alaska.

Sometimes all it takes is one evening of nice light. After a long hike up the Nizina Glacier, we spent an even longer evening shooting this amazing scene.

Waterfall, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, Alaska.

From a recent trip to Wrangell-St. Elias National Park; we spent a few days down in the low country before hitting the alpine regions, and I took advantage of the high overcast skies to shoot a few waterfall images. This one was quite a mission to reach, including a march through a marshy boggy, swampy mess of a forest, but well worth the effort.

Spending most of the summer up above tree country I don’t get a lot of work on these kinds of shots; the waterfalls there tend to be a little less than some of the bigger snowmelt runoff falls down lower, so I was glad to get this opportunity.

We also saw a number of black bears, beaver, porcupines, golden eagles, Dall sheep and mountain goats on our trip, and then were lucky enough to see a moose cow with her 2 calves in the forest on our way home. Good times!

Cheers
