Sometimes you just have to stop and admire the shapes and colors of nature!
Toklat River, Denali National Park
One of the many stops when touring Alaska’s Denali National Park is the Toklat River. Toklat River is fed by various glaciers and mountain runoff, twisting and turning its way through a large flat valley surrounded by steep mountains. I have posted several photos of the this spot in the Toklat Gallery page, that capture the changing fall weather patterns we experienced during our two and a half days in the park, and highlight the silty, glacial nature of the streams.

Denali National Park
I was fortunate to have a short working trip to Alaska this fall, and was able to venture north to Denali National Park for a couple days of exporing and photo shooting. Most of my blot posts and galleries in the near future will feature that trip. While it was a short three days in duration, my camera was busy snapping away as there were amazing views at every turn! This photo was taken during the one sunny day we had in the park and shows a set of Caribou antlers framing Mount McKinley, or Denali, in the background. Denali, partially obsured by clouds, is the highest point in North America, and simply dominates the sky when you are in eyesight. In this photo, the base of Denali is still nearly fifty miles away!
