Crystalline Hills Fall Reflection 1
Posted onWhat can I say about Wrangell-St Elias National Park? I am spell-bound! It is America’s largest national park at 13.2 million acres, which is 6 times the size of Yellowstone. I did not see another photographer (or visitor!) during my entire trip. A week exploring the McCarthy Road area is not enough time, even with ideal photography conditions. I just scratched the surface. I had everything that a photographer could ask for: cobalt blue skies, brilliant golden aspen trees, crimson colored summits, mirror image reflection ponds, dramatic rainbows, and clouds the size of giant marshmallows. Above is a sample of my new images that I will be posting in the coming weeks.
I am currently in Anchorage waiting for my flight to Yakutat to visit my boat & winterize it. The weather forecast predicts unseasonably perfect conditions the next 2 days. Maybe my photo luck will continue?
Sweet shot, John! I love the reflection in that glass-calm water.
I know what you mean about needing more time in a place. I feel that way more often than not. While you can get some amazing images, you know as well as I do that familiarity breeds creativity. Gives you reason to go back! 😉
Thanks for sharing,
Greg
Beautiful, Jon – looking forward to more of your images from this trip!

Thank you guys! I wish that you could have been there with me. It was awesome! Many more to come.
Yakutat is interesting. Going boating tomorrow. Got a good look at the mountains on the plane flight in and on the ground. WOW! 7+ months to go until the real adventure begins.
I am sad. I miss my boat. It will be safe in this hangar all winter without me.
I need to repost this picture & figure out why my laptop colors are so off. This is not the way I had intended this photo to look.
You captured a fantastic image here. Congratulations. Carol
