Tombstone Colors

scho · 09/21/07, 05:19 PM

Fall color in the Tombstone Valley, Yukon. Headwaters of the Klondike River in Tombstone Territorial Park. Taken early September on a drive up the Dempster highway to Chapman Lake. Willows, dwarf birch, and blueberry bushes contributing to the rich golds, reds, and mauve colors in the landscape. M8 with CV 15mm Heliar.

Carl -

Yet another place I have to visit, and clearly in the fall. Gorgeous colors, depth and framing.

Carl,

I'm speachless of the beauty and richness in this picture...

Are you aware of how great the dynamic range is here?
I like the details, the softness of the sky, the rich colours.
Beautiful presented also. What a great moment you have mastered here.

(with that cv 15, btw)

thanks for sharing,
Harry

Thank you Stuart and Harry. We were very fortunate to be in this area at the peak fall color period, which is very brief at this latitude.

Carl,

like streaming rivers of lava - beautiful.

Thank you John. The rivers of lava is a good analogy.

Thank you Harry. More images here:
Alaska & Yukon
and here is a wide shot of the whole valley. Tombstone Mountain is at the head of the valley (obscured by clouds) and the stream winding through is the Klondike RIver that eventually empties into the Yukon River in Dawson.

Carl,
Quite a portfolio you have there; some really good shots, will take me a while to get through them.

Thank you Pete. I would love to go back and drive the Dempster highway in July when the wildflowers are in blossom and there is essentially 24 hours of daylight. This is an elevated gravel road (the gravel berm keeps the permafrost insulated so the road won't sink in) that runs 600 km all the way from Dawson to Inukvik, NWT. We only drove about 70 km of the road on this brief visit, but the scenery was awesome.

" awesome "

You can sat that again Carl, as these images from this lovely place are all wonderful.

Thank you Marcus. I love the sweeping vistas in this area. You can see 40 km to the divide at the end of this valley.
