Taken at 1:00PM in Denali National Park.

I recommend viewing the large version. It really helps, especially with the sheep!

ISO-160, f8.0, 1/800

What a grand scape. The white sheep stand out really well.

If i may ask, which part of the park is this from ?

The larger image is almost like looking at a completely different scene. The ground is perfectly suited to overhead lighting and illuminate the clouds beautifully. Well done.

Thank you, all, for your comments :wavey:

Anand; if I remember right, this was somewhere between Sable Pass and Polychrome.

Definitely Denali! I understand the desire to show the hillside to add some context here, but IMO this is so well suited for pano format that it's worth sacrificing the bottom--the top half of this photo is just phenomenal!

Gary,

I love all the different textures in the image, the way the shadows fall and the stormy clouds in the background over the mountains. I thought this might be near Polychrome, I have images that have that central mountain in this in some of my photos from there.
