Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, Alaska, USA.  When a natural scene has geometrical patterns embedded, it excites visually.  Here you see how the pink flower laden foreground hill slopes right to the left.  The distant hills slope from the left to the right (two of them).  Finally the snow in the farthest hill slopes from the right to the left.  An alternating pattern here.  Finally, the clouds on top.  Nikon D4S loaded with the Nikkor 200-500mm f5.6 lens.

Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, Alaska, USA.  This scene was interesting for me firstly because of the pink flower laden hillside.  Secondly, there is a repeating pattern of ridges coming out of the clouds to the bottom right.  Nikon D4S loaded with the Nikkor 200-500mm f5.6 lens.

Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, Alaska, USA.  This scene intrigued me because of the pink flower laden foreground hill on the bottom right, followed by the shadowed ridge and then the lit mountains in the background covered by clouds.  The sharp ridge cutting the clouds in the top left anchors the shot along with the pink flowery hill in the bottom right acting as a secondary anchor.  Nikon D4S loaded with the Nikkor 200-500mm f5.6 lens.

Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, Alaska, USA.  On our second day trip to Brooks Falls, instead of seeing the bears for the second day in a row, we took a bus ride to the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, a great location within Katmai National Park.  This is one of several scenes I photographed there.  The low clouds helped add drama to this landscape.  An abstracted “Z” from the elements here.  Nikon D4S loaded with the Nikkor 200-500mm f5.6 lens.  People call this lens a wildlife lens.  For me, this is a versatile all round lens.

Brown Bear on Brooks Falls, Katmai National Park, Alaska, USA.  As you know Salmon swims upstream and even up the falls.  At Brooks Falls, the bears are often seen waiting on top of the falls to catch Salmon as they swim up.  Nikon D4S with the Nikkor 200-500mm f5.6 lens.
