ALASKA 2024

 
In late June I flew up to Alaska to travel out to a real "bucket list" place for me - Saint Paul Island. This small Island in the middle of the Berring Sea is home to millions of nesting sea birds and presents some really incredible photo opportunities. The only tricky thing...is the weather!  During my stay it was foggy and windy most of the time.  This was actually OK for photography as the flat light gave me lots of time to work.  But it definitely made it tricky to get to and from the Island.  If you ever plan to visit this place you definitely need to leave yourself several days buffer zone as flight cancellations are the norm instead of the exception.  After miraculously getting off the Island I found myself with a few days to kill aroudn Anchorage. It was a bit late in the season for most birds. But I did find a few things worth taking pictures of.

As always I feel so lucky to get to visit such incredible places and spend some time with the birds that live there. I hope that the images I captured do them some justice. 

 Below are a few of my favourite images that I hope you will enjoy...
