The Tlingit people built this canoe, now on display at the National Park’s visitor’s center. The Tlingit were driven from their homes by advancing glaciers three hundred years ago, but as the ice retreated they have returned to the area and claim Glacier Bay as their spiritual homeland. I made this image to symbolically evoke such spirit. Using spot metering, I was able to emphasize the effect of a warm sun emerging from the dark shadows within the hand-made wooden canoe.
