Aspen Explosion
In Fairbanks, it was impossible to look in any direction without seeing some trees at the peak of color.
Aspen Gold
Shot just 5 miles away from our satellite tracking station, with just a hint of sun peeking through the overcast.
Entering Denali National Park
A shot as I entered Denali National Park.
Entering Denali National Park #2
Amazing vistas in every direction - and we are still miles away from Denali itself. This place is huge!
Driving Thru Denali
Driving thru Denali National Park, there are changing trees everywhere.
Prudhoe Bay Sunset
No trees turning up here, 'cause there are no trees up here, period :o). A unique place to see, but I wouldn't want to be assigned to work up here on a regular basis. Even at the start of September, it was still starting to get cold up here.
Brooks Range from the Air
I almost didn't take any pictures out of the window of the airliner as we flew back to Fairbanks from Prudhoe Bay. But afterwards, I was glad I did. I was not able to completely remove all the color casts and reflections, but this still turned out to be an interesting shot IMHO.
Denali from the Air
Another shot thru the plane window that didn't come out half bad. I think having an image-stabilized lens sure helped too.
Denali from the Air #2
A wide angle view of Denali from the plane.
Aspens Changing from the Air
After getting some usable shots coming down from Prudhoe, I took one coming in for a landing in Fairbanks. The exhaust from the engine gives the shot a real 'painterly' effect, I think.
