Byers Lake

Near the dominating panorama of Denali, the taiga runs out through the hills, blanketing the landscape in a verdant dark green, lush from the rains and snows, but still foreboding, impenetrable, ancient.  At the shore of Byer's lake, you have the chance to take out a kayak and explore some of this landscape yourself, paddle out into the cold glacial water and bask in the rare warmth of the summer.  Photographically, I wish I had make a couple more images that could have followed through on the rest of the boats; this panorama is a little incomplete feeling, but I still like the diagonal line of the kayaks against the water and the horizon.  Enjoy.
