nature photography
Last year my very good friend and his partner started a Dahlia field and business.

In that spirit I was looking through my RAW images reliving my Alaskan experience when I stumbled on the elusive Alaskan Sunrise images I took. In May of 2019 I took an Alaskan cruise and cloudy was the forecast 99% of the time while there but one very, very early morning I got lucky.
The morning we were sailing into Glacier Bay, I was the crazy photographer dragging on multiple layers, climbing to the upper decks and making my way to the bow to photograph the landscape. Also the Park Rangers that would be joining our ship to guide us through the Bay.
Being one of the very, very few passengers up that early I really had my run of the ship and got to witness an Alaskan Sunrise. Check out one of those rare images below that was re-edited in 2024.
