As I was driving home from my night of shooting the stars and Denali mountain I pulled over at a rest stop to stretch my legs. This was the view that I got to see. What you don't see is that the temperature was -8 F. I didn't know this when I got out of the car without my coat, gloves, or hat. I quickly realized that it was cold. This was taken right outside of Willow, Alaska around 12 am on 1/17/2016

Such a great night at the Denali view point south. This was taken in the parking lot of the closed for the winter parking lot. I would have composed this better but the snow was to deep to navigate around

A view of the great Alaska trio. The Northern lights, Milky way, and Denali.

This photo is similar to one of my recent post. The settings are slightly different. The detail of the milky way was better. The sea creature has been harpooned as it swims away. Those were my first thought as I was working on this picture.

Another night shot of Denali view point south, Trapper Creek, Alaska. The moon was at my back lighting the landscape of this photo.
