We stayed a few days in a small cabin right on Rangeley Lake in Maine and each morning, I was able to watch the thick fog roll away as the sun came up. At night, I would capture pretty pink skies and reflections on the lake.

After the cruise, we took a 10 hour train ride from Whittier to Denali National Park. The train had 360 views, which were spectacular! I was able to capture some great shots from this ride.
Then we stayed at the Princess Lodge in Denali National Park for two nights, so on the full day, we took an 11 hour bus ride all the way to end of Denali. We saw a lot of Moose, Mountain Goat, Caribou, but only one bear. Mt. McKinley was also in clear view in the morning hours, but then by Noon, it was covered in clouds and you could no longer see it.
We then stayed at the Mt. McKinley Princess lodge for one night and I decided to stay on the viewing deck for most of the night to capture both the sunset and sunrise over the Denali Mountain Range. For the entire night, the sky stayed pink with strange cloud formations which made for some interesting night sky shots.
We ended the trip with a one night stay in Anchorage and then flew back home. Princess cruises handled everything from the cruise to all of the hotel stays, bus rides, train ride and our luggage from place to place. It was a great trip and would definitely recommend it to everyone.

The next morning, I woke up early and headed to the beach side in hopes of capturing an amazing sunrise picture and while I was in mid shooting, I noticed towards the other side of the road that some interesting pink clouds were forming so I immediately grabbed my equipment and ran to where the lake and pier are located and captured a couple of amazing shots of the pink clouds reflecting on the lake with some yellow flowers. After this I ran back over to the beach and a storm was fast approaching which made for some interesting shots with the rocks and the lighthouse. Then as I packed up and headed to my car, I noticed a storm and a rainbow over by the pier so I immediately headed over there and captured images of the pier with the rainbow. I took some of the rainbow with the storm and others of the rainbow starting to disappear has the storm cleared up.
I have been taking sunrise pictures for years and always hoping to capture a shot with storm clouds or a pink sky with clouds and have never had much luck until this trip. I will definitely be back at this location in the future.
