I've just returned from a photo tour with Aaron Baggenstos of Aaronstours.com. We spent three plus days photographing the amazing birds of Barrow, Alaska at the tip of North America. The sun never sets there this time of year so we did an "all nighter" when we arrived and got these shots in this awesome light. We were so glad we did, because we never saw the sun again for the rest of the trip. This shot was taken around 1:30 am.
