Flightseeing in Alaska

I finally made it to AK and am coping with sensory overload. Too much good stuff!!

Went flightseeing around Denali and collected enough material to paint on for years.  The scale of everything is unbelievable. Talk about supersized!

Here's some pics.......

Flying toward Denali, still 40 miles out: highest spot in North America.

The two Peaks of Denali. South Peak (in front) is the true summit.

"The Moose's Tooth" - Love the names of some of the peaks!

I once heard a comedian say, "What America needs for vacationers is a good ocean in the mountains." Well, Alaska's got it.

Looking across Turnagain Arm. When the tide comes in it rushes up this river in a wave called a bore tide and can be 10 feet in height. Don't get caught in it.

If you are looking for a place with endless subject matter for the landscape painter, Alaska is it!
