Tundra Textures

Here's another from the bus in Denali. The patterns and textures where pulling my eye in every direction. As we drove through I kept thinking "there's a shot, and another, and another, and another".

I'd love to see this one big. I'm glad you posted, because I've been noticing all this color in the tundra in your grander shots from the trip.
Nice job Eric.

Really cool my friend! It must have been hard to sit still through all of that!

I love the tundra shots. Unlike any place on the earth and you captured it well. I'm really interested in the tundra and some day would love to make it north of the Arctic circle.

From all the photos you brought home and are showing us, it looks like you had the trip of a lifetime. What a gorgeous shot! Love how the curves of the hills sweep the viewer through the image. Tremendous the way you captured the sense of scale in that grand landscape.

Erik, get up there dude! That's all I can say. They say the last week in August or the first week in September is usually when the fall colors are prime.

Thanks all!

The farthest North i've been was about 130 miles north of Anchorage on the way to Fairbanks. We ate lunch before we turned around at a place that had a giant Grizzly bear hanging on the wall with about 8 inch claws. There was a beautiful view of Mckinley from close to there also .

Very, very pretty image. I love the hills' texture and how well they are isolated from the fg meadows.
I would probably like this image even more if the trees on the fg meadows were better isolated from the surrounding bushes. Nevertheless it is a very pretty image.
