The Equilux Studio


Eagle River, Alaska

The Equilux studio is located in the mountains of Eagle River, Alaska. A place of open spaces and inspiration.

The story behind the name of Equilux

Our spring and autumn equinox is when the sun’s path crosses an imaginary line in the sky that we call the equator. The length of day and night is nearly equal but not quite, because the sun’s rays are bent (refracted); thus one can be lit up before the sun actually rises. When the length of the day and night are truly equal, it is called equilux. This actually happens a few days before the spring equinox and a few days after the autumn equinox, and the day of equilux differs, depending on where one is located in the world.

Ice Cascades

In November 2012 the winter started unusually cold and snowless. This caused the South Fork River to freeze into the most beautiful cascades. Below is a compilation of videos and photography taken in the area adjacent to the studio.

Join us on a fall drive through Denali National Park. Shot with iPhone 6. Denali was in the clouds but the scenery was gorgeous nonetheless.


Snowscapes

With so many different terrain features in the South Fork Valley the snow cover creates fascinating scenery. Following is a slideshow of some of the nicest ones I have taken.
