Continuing our adventures in Alaska, we visited Denali National Park on a pretty dreary day. While it didn’t rain much, it was pretty raw out. Since we didn’t have a car, we took a tour of the park hoping to see some wildlife. Even with a car, you can only drive as far as we did on the tour. To be able to go further into the park, you must arrange an expanded tour (wish we knew that going in).
Unfortunately, while we did spot a few animals, they were mere specks in the distance. Despite the lack of wildlife and the gloominess of the weather, the scenery was outstanding. I was struck by the amount of open range in the park and how the mountain range contrasted with it. The clouds added to the gloomy mood. As I studied the scene, I was reminded of the words “…Purple Mountain Majesty…” in the song, America the Beautiful. It seemed to me that the words were inspired by these mountains.
What an expansive view. Beautiful Len.
What a perfectly picturesque scene here Len, the depth is incredible, those clouds look great, another masterpiece man!
Fantastic image Len! Love the expanse and the drama in the clouds! Well done!
Great shot, Len. This is a really nice scene. I agree with the others, those clouds are awesome.
Outstanding image Len!
So rugged up there! I need to get up there. Love following your photos. Well done!
Another beauty!
Beautiful shot! Really nice man.
Amazing depth to this Len, love it!
This is astonishing landscapery (is that a real word? no?) here Len! It’s amazing, you never tire of seeing beautiful mountains and rolling landscapes in life, I find… what a great image!
I’m just going to pull up a chair and enjoy this view for a few minutes. Don’t mind me, I have my coffee
Amazing image Len! You really did a beautiful job!
Great shot. I remember seeing a view like this and trying to guess how far it was to the opposite foothills. It was tricky because there were no man-made…anything to give it scale. Such an amazing place. Terrific photo!
