The Autumn Tundra Landscape

The Autumn Tundra Landscape
ALAK08D-626
August 29, 2008

Autumn has left us already, and while it has been a mild one, winter is here.  Continuing on the theme of this week from Alaska, this is a scene from the Point Hope area, far in the north of the state.  Here the tundra is everywhere, and there is virtually no forests or trees to speak of.  Instead, the wide, spongy ground sports tufts of grasses, berry bushes, and thistles stretches far as the eye can see, and in the fall, as it all turns a golden orange, the whole place blazes with color.  It is peaceful, though empty, and the wind comes down from the Arctic and reminds you of how remote Alaska can be.  Enjoy.
