stuny Posted September 21, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted September 21, 2007 Carl - Â Yet another place I have to visit, and clearly in the fall. Gorgeous colors, depth and framing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hodc Posted September 21, 2007 Share #3 Â Posted September 21, 2007 Carl, Â I'm speachless of the beauty and richness in this picture... Â Are you aware of how great the dynamic range is here?

scho Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share #4 Â Posted September 21, 2007 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaipaval Posted September 21, 2007 Share #7  Posted September 21, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I really enjoyed that post. Great colour range. Can we have some more please  Harry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scho Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share #8 Â Posted September 21, 2007 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.

elansprint72 Posted September 21, 2007 Share #9 Â Posted September 21, 2007 Carl, Quite a portfolio you have there; some really good shots, will take me a while to get through them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scho Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share #10 Â Posted September 21, 2007 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
