From the summer,

Alpine tarn, Wrangell - St. Elias National Park, Alaska.

Hey Folks,

Here’s another from the summer, from our Bremner to Tebay trip. Brings back some nice memories.

Oh, and please add my name after Colin Powell’s in the list of those who officially announce their endorsement of Barack Obama for pres. Or his name after mine, whichever order works best. :)

Cheers
Carl

Twaharpies Mountain Range, Wrangell - St. Elias National Park, Alaska.

Twaharpies Mountain Range, peaks, sunset, Wrangell - St. Elias National Park, Alaska.

hey Folks,

Here’s another image from a few years ago - on a trip to Wolverine, a ridge high above the Chittistone River in Wrangell - St. Elias National Park, Alaska. The Twaharpies Mountains lie south of the ridge, across the river, and came out late this evening with some gorgeous light. The peaks are pretty cool - classic alps. Just east of this peak lie the University Range, home to Mount Bona and Mount Churchill. Wolverine is a local name for the (officially) unnamed ridge on the north side of the Chittistone River, and a great spot for a basecamp or a point to point hike - I usually hike from Skolai Pass west to Wolverine, but some folks like to do it in the other direction. It’s a classic alpine walk, through some of the most magnificent scenery I’ve ever stumbled my way through. There’s a crazy butte on the north side of the ridge, like something out of the desert southwest, but all around are jagged craggy peaks, like the Twaharpies.

Maybe I’ll continue on with a short series of images from years gone by, rather than continually posting new photos. This counts as 2. :)

Cheers

Sunset over the Alaska Range, Alaska.

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

sunset over the Alaska Range, Alaska.

hey Folks,

Here’s an old image I dug up last night .. going through some old files for editing. I shot it a couple of years ago, returning from a trip to Denali National Park one fall. The sky began to clear up late in the afternoon, and I was driving back towards Anchorage. A week or so in the park with clouds and rain and on my way home, a sunset! I pulled over to the side of the road, wandered off into the woods, got completely SOAKED in this marshy area, and set up my gear near this Dward Birch (Betula pumila or Betula borealis), glowing orange in late autumn colors, and the clouds began to catch the last of the day’s rays. Then i walked back to my truck, and got my feet even more wet.

Cheers

Carl
