It is amazing how different a place can look depending on the weather conditions and time of year. I have my regular places that I go out and shoot at because they provide me with spectacular views and the possibility of seeing wildlife. One such place is on Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson on Upper 6 mile Lake. During the summer I love to go there because this is a spawning area for red salmon but the rest of the year it is just as enchanting. Everytime I capture a photo from this area it looks different and new.
