Description
We started out our bus trip through Denali National Park in Alaska in heavy fog and light rain. It being the only day we would have in Denali, I was apprehensive about whether the day would turn out to be a disappointment. I needn't have worried. The fog made for some great shots at lower elevations, and as we moved further into the park and higher in elevation, the fog began to burn off - but the low hanging clouds made for some wonderful images I may have missed had the weather been fairer that morning.

Ann Horn
A marvelous image of a spectacular scene, Joni! Great the way the cloud opened up to provide an extra peek at the mountains. f/l
Joni Eskridge replied:
Thanks Ann. It was a wonderful experience. What I thought was a bad day for our time in Denali turned out to be ideal. There were scenes like this, then as the day progressed, things opened up and we saw beautiful blue sky.

Joni, I love the deep blue poking itself through the clouds ... the clouds themselves pillowy soft , a lovely natural complement to the rugged rolling earth below them ; interesting & well captured, & a joy to view at length, so restful :))
Joni Eskridge replied:
Thank you Connie! It was so exciting to drive through the park and find one amazing sight after another. Trying to capture that in camera and bring it back, was the challenge. So glad you like this one. Appreciate your visit and kind words, as always.

I love the color cast of this image...gives it a feeling of a time long ago . . . wonderful rolling terrain!....fv
Joni Eskridge replied:
Thanks Karen. The rolling terrain I found really wonderful - like a velvet carpet of brown and green. I loved the way the clouds brought in the shadows across the ground. I thought the warmer tones worked well. So glad you like it. Appreciate the visit!

Chanler Simmons
Wow! This is such a striking and beautiful shot. You did an amazing job. :)
Joni Eskridge replied:
Thanks so much, Chanler. I had a lot to work with! I went on this trip worried I'd take this trip of a lifetime and not come back with any great pictures, but it would have been pretty difficult to not come away with something wonderful. So glad you like it. Thanks for the visit!
Jeremy Clinard
I love the mountains and this photo is wonderful.
Joni Eskridge replied:
Thanks Jeremy. I'm a mountain lover as well - and the clouds - they really did it for me. It turned out having the day start out rainy and foggy was awesome for photography! Thanks for the visit. Glad you like it.
