THE BIG THREE
This photo was taken 3/21/2014. The weather was clear and the Big Three ( Mt. Hunter, Mt. Foraker, and Denali, the tallest mountain in North America at 20,320) were in there there full grandeur. Ive seen this range hundreds of times and each time I see it, I'm still amazed by the rugged beauty of the alaskan range.
Dusk on the Tundra
During a recent trip on the Denali Highway, I was able to get off the beaten path with 'Thor", the 6 wheel ranger. Dusk is an impressive time to see the tundra. During this trip, I was able to capture the moon, Mt. Sanford and Drum which are some of Alaska's tallest mountains. What an amazing site.
Home in the Valley
This is where I call home. My home in the Matanuska Valley is surrounded by mountains. Pioneer Peak, the crown jewel of the valley, is a vertical rise from sea level to 6,398 ft. What an amazing sight to see on a daily basis, but on those special days when the lighting is just right, its breathtaking.
Skilak Reflections
Skilak lake is one of the large lakes that separate the world famous Kenai river. The lake during the day can be a dangerous place to be with small crafts. This is due to the wind that will blow off the harding ice field and down to the lake. On occasion the lake is smooth as glass. This was one of those days.
