Chilkoot Lake Near Haines AlaskaJust after sunrise, Chilkoot Lake was as still as a mirror. I snapped this photograph after noticing how perfectly the water reflected the landscape and the clouds.

Denali Mountain With ReflectionIt is rare that Denali is out for viewing as only 30% of visitors to Denali National Park see the mountain. After many attempts, I was fortunate enough to not only see it on a clear day, but to capture a perfect refection of the "Great One" as the sun painted it orange. The reflection pond near the end of the park road serves as a perfect location to capture not one but two images of the magnificent peak.

It’s not clear where the name of the mountain comes from, but it wouldn’t be surprising to learn that an early explorer saw this same sunset and thought of the light through a cathedral’s stained glass.
