There are several places around Anchorage for great photography. Drive along Turnigain Arm and photograph Beluga Whales from shore. Turn around and look up and photograph Dall Sheep up the mountain side. If you e-mail me, I will give you my telelphone number and we can meet up and I can take you places within a short driving distance that will amaze you. I have seen the 2 hour drive from Anchorage to Seward take over 8 hours due to the photo ops. How do I know this? Because this is my home, where I live. e-mail is david at davidrameyphotography dot com
