Mt. Denali, Denali National Park, Alaska. As you know, tourists are no longer allowed to go into Denali National Park freely in their own private vehicles. You pretty much have to win a lottery to have this privilege. In late July, we stayed overnight in a lodge outside the Denali park and took the Denali tour bus and photographed through the bus window or when the bus stopped. When our bus arrived at this location, Mt. Denali was covered with clouds. Fortunately, the snow capped peak was visible at the very top. This photograph became a keeper for me, because of a sense of discovery. This is a routine trite shot of some hills with clouds over it, until you discover the snow capped Mt. Denali. Nikon D4S with Nikkor 200-500mm f5.6 lens. Why use this telephoto for landscapes? Isolating interesting compositions from a bus is easier. If I included the bus window and the road and the parking lots, it wouldn’t be as interesting.
