Driving in rural Michigan today, I noticed that alot ofthe barns are in decay and not in use. I stopped and saw this one.Rotting Americana

What makes me smile? Seeing my friends out on the water! Or A beautiful sunset on the way home from the lake.

A place that makes me happy? Alaska's Denali National Park Whittier Alaska Seward, Alaska Clearwater Beach Niagra Falls

Going to Alaska, as a photographer, is a dream come true. But make sure you prepare youself. Log on to the internet, plan your trip. Remember one thing, no matter where you go, it takes HOURS to get there. But within those hours of driving, there is soooo much stunning scenery. Be preparred. Make sure that you go at the right time of year. For instance. I went in July, when the sen doesn't set below the horizon. Here is an example of thisDenali Valley as this image was taken at 11pm in Denali National Park. That's the Talketna River below.

Then there is a Glacier outside of Whittier, Alaska. It's rightthere starring at youwhen you're waiting to drive though a tunnel to get into Whittier, here is theat view.Whittier Glacier
