Red Mountain Cirque


Red Mountain Cirque
ALAK08D-291
July 29, 2008

Red Mountain lies above Seldovia, following a long and winding road until it reaches this idyllic landscape.  The cirque in the background reminds the glacial origins of this area, how Alaska is still often covered in ice and snow.  But the stream that flows from the mountain is cold, crisp, refreshing.  It is a fabulous place to explore for the day.  The shadows were a bit harsh, due to the high summer lighting, so the left side of the image is a bit off, but the sharpness and colors really pop.  Enjoy.
