The Longhouse is a photo representing the longhouse in Saxman Alaska, Saxman is an incorporated village just outside Ketchikan Alaska. The main road into Saxman is surrounded by Totem poles, the most standing totem poles in one location is in Saxman. 27 Totem Poles stand in this location at the top of the road sits the Tlingit Longhouse. This historical building represents a place that to this day people gather to sing and dance, share stories and laugh, as well as introduce visitors to the way of life the Tlingit People lived for thousands of years.

Why out on a night drive I saw the sun hitting the longhouse and knew I had to get out and capture this scene. Ketchikan & Saxman are a special place and capturing it and sharing it with others always makes me happy. Own a piece of Alaska ;)
