I will admit, I used to get irritated with Glacier Bay at times when the weather wasn’t exactly sunny, which I had always thought was required for good photography. Only now do I look back and realize that some of my very best shots were when it was foggy or rainy, usually a combination of both. This view from Garforth Island is very moody as we contemplated a cloudy sky and a low fog that would engulf us in about a half an hour. But that’s sometimes what Glacier Bay is like – the coolest places aren’t easy to get to, and you’re not necessarily going to have perfect weather along the way. There is a subtle ‘hardcore-ness’ to it all…something that would keep me coming back.
