Scenics

June 8
Here are more photos from yesterday. Denali National Park and Preserve is amazingly beautiful. The weather changes constantly. Most of theses photos were taken after 8 p.m. on our way back to park headquarters.A mountain range coming back from the "back country". I live in the "front country" which is about 100 miles from Mt. McKinley. The mountain has it's own weather pattern so even on a sunny day (like yesterday) you may not see Mt. McKinley.
A striking scene where the sun opened up for a short time in a narrow passage of trees.
I am lucky to have a Park Ranger driver named Jay Elhard. We had ample time to pull over and shoot whenever the moments arrived. Most visitors must ride buses because of limitations on human contact with the park.
The rainbow came first then a short rainfall.
Beauty abounds!
I call this "God's Light."
Thanks for visiting!

    You know, your trip requires some supplementation of your income. Why don't you get into the picture post card business?

  5. It's a great American Dream of the Last Frontier. Enjoy you time. You should have a slide show at home once you get back. We're coming home in July....

  6. I like Barb's idea of a slide show, Kent. I'd be willing to make beef.
