The night in the tent at the Naknek Lake in the wilderness of the Katmai National Park in Alaska is over and there is a dramatic sunrise in the morning. The flaming sky is extraordinary. The colours are changing constantly and become increasingly intensive. The mood is fantastic. After a few minutes, the colours fade and a storm springs up immediately. The glassy lake turns into an inferno, and there are only enormous white crestwaves left. The storm lasts for 24 hours with wind speeds of up to 90 miles per hour. At the end of the storm, the sea is glassy again within a short time, and the wild flowers at the shore are shining in the most beautiful colours.
The salmon migration to the pawning grounds moves further down the river until the last obstacle, a waterfall. The Brown bears are gathered here, and the salmons need to build up their strength once more to overcome the obstacle. But then, after a long migration full of privation back from the sea, they have reached their destination, the stream where they were born.
I also experienced a fantastic nature and fantastic moods on the Midway Islands, the Bahamas and at the southern tip of Africa.
Especially in the evening, when the sun sinks into the sea. Afterwards darkness comes without dusk.
