Taken from the same spot as yesterday's pic (at McGonagall Pass) but looking in the other direction, following our route up the Muldrow Glacier. The summit of Denali is still 10 miles away as the crow flies (and over 14,000’ above us) and we’d already snowshoed about 20 miles from a frozen Wonder Lake to get there. Cold & windy - temperature measured on previous day was about -30F. Note at lower left, there is a Park Service dog sled patrol headed toward us.

That sure provides some scale to the magnitude of the scene.

Everything about Alaska is enormous.

Beautiful isolation with that f/1.8. That the Canon RF 135mm f/1.8 L IS USM? Sweet lens!

Yes, it's almost the same as my RF 85 f/1.2 and RF 50 f/1.2 I love them all.

Had a briefing last week with our students at the WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization) and we had a short tour of the premises afterwards. This shot was taken on the top floor cafeteria, unfortunately through the window. Notice the Broken Chair monument to commemorate the anti-personnel landmine treaty and is the site of protests. The main building "Palais de Nations" is beyond (it was originally the League of Nations) and the lake and of course the pre-Alps.

Love the atmosphere in this shot.

I worked on two military hospitals in AK. One at Elmendorf AFB in Anchorage and one at Ft. Wainright in Fairbanks. Got to spend a lot of time there.

I also worked up there back in the 70's, on a NOAA ship re-surveying Cook Inlet, and got back a few more times, climbing and touring.

One last Denali pic - high on Karsten's Ridge, above the upper Muldrow Glacier.

Surprisingly I don't have any other 4x5s from Johnson Canyon, Banff national Park, AB. This is what the cantilevered pathway looked like back around 1980.
