This was one of the most amazing sunrises I've ever seen. The sun broke over the mountains, the light filled the valley and the arch took care of the rest!

After being dropped off a quarter mile away from our cabin near Ailiak Glacier, our guide towed the kayaks to a better landing spot in the still, glassy waters of the Alaskan wilderness.

The light in this photo is some of most incredible I've seen. This was shortly after a rainstorm passed by and the golden light of sunset was just filtering down through the misty canopy.
