The McKinley Range
A view of the Talkeetna River and miles of trees turning color. Mt. McKinley is sixty miles away. The trees seemed to turn color all at the same time. To see them from the air was very impressive.

The Ruth Glacier
Rugged peaks descend to the Ruth Glacier in the McKinley Range. The turquoise color on the lower left is a small landlocked lake formed by glacier melt.

Snow Peak from McKinley Range
One of many shots taken from a small plane flying from Talkeetna to a landing on the Ruth Glacier in the McKinley Range, Alaska. I sat in the co-pilot’s seat and was able to shoot through the front windshield as well as the side window.

Cook Inlet
The Cook Inlet stretches about 180 miles from Anchorage south to the Gulf of Alaska. The Inlet provides navigable access for Anchorage and Homer. This image was captured in early September, 2006. Dark clouds alternated with patches of sun to create this dramatic scene.

Farming Community and Mt. Hood
An image from Hood River, Oregon. This was taken from a small park that overlooked a beautiful valley of farms, fields and orchards. Mt. Hood appeared to generate its own weather system on this late October morning.

Strawberry Sunrise
This is a view of the sun rising behind the Gabilan Range in the Salinas Valley with light reflected from plastic covered rows that will be planted in strawberries. The rows are wrapped in black plastic and treated with Methyl Bromide, a pre-plant soil fumigant used to control diseases and pests in agriculture. Methyl Bromide use is being phased out in California. The plastic made a nice reflective surface for the light of the rising sun. November, 2004.
