Exploring Alaska: The Alaska Range.2

The slight yellowish blur is from the wooden pop on the airplane. The colors aren't very saturated, looking from this angle, but things improved later on.

The sky cleared a little. It looks like there is snow on the peak.

There are times when I don't mind if the struts from the wings obstruct the view. Sometimes they help to frame up the photo nicely and add interest. A light amount of sunshine brought out the natural red colors.

This peak reminds me of the glow from a burning coal briquet. This is one of my favorite photos from the flight.

It looks like someone was watching. Maybe it's my imagination, but there appears to be the bust of a saint in the lower left hand corner.

This was a quick look back before we headed back home.

An example of the ever changing light over the tundra. Our flight lasted about an hour and a half. This picture was taken around 8:30 in the evening, August 4th 2011.

  1. Looks like there has been quite a few avalanches on those mountains, but they are very grand none the least. I also like the bits of plane in some of the shots. Does add a bit of interest.
