Alpenglow	This photo was taken early morning in February. The first light of sunrise glows on the church as the moon sets in the west over the Alaska Range.
Fireweed Blessings	Summer brings out the colors of fireweed and other wildflowers.
Heavenly Skies	It is 1AM Easter Morning. A candle burns in the window, the aurora borealis glows like a halo around the church as Comet Hale-Bopp shines overhead. Truly heavenly sights.
Winter Cemetery	Even on the coldest of winter days the colors and contrasts of the church's private cemetery brighten the day.
Moon crossed	The setting moon is framed by the cross.
Mountain Moon Set	Another breathtaking moment at moon set and sunrise. Look carefully for a moose in the foreground.
Peace at sunrise	Peace.
Purity	The adage "Pure as the driven snow" could have been coined here.
Beach view	The view from the beach below the church.
