Exploring Alaska: To Bettles n Back.2

This is my series of pictures that were taken on the way to Bettles, August 27th.

The humidity made the photography quite challenging. The atmosphere was rich in moisture, so this was my keeper out of about 7 pics. A faint twin rainbow appears to the right

The Haul Road is on the left. The pipeline is on the right. The accordion shape allows for fluctuations during the changing temperatures.

The new colors for Fall.

The colors here and below, make the tundra look like a creation on canvas.

Scattered showers left precipitation behind.

The mountains in the background are near Bettles.

The bright yellow path looks to me like a "winter" road, accessible mainly to mushers and snow machines.

Incoming.

Looks like a smooth landing.

This one was taken from the tie-down area at the Bettles strip.

  1. You're really good at taking pictures! That rainbow picture was worth the effort. Alaska is so pretty, even from thousands of feet up :)
