I like this presentation, most sunset shooters will invariably aim towards the dying sun, but you take a tangential angle - brilliant. This approach shows a complete sweep of the blue spectrum. The frost in the trees also reflect the sunlight adding a nice counter point in this symphony. The low lit valley and mountain sides, up to the permanent snow line don't distract the viewers eye. Excellent camera technique - especially critical for this kind of shot since there is a mix of lighting strengths.

If this were a picture on a travel poster extolling the pristine virtues of the 49th state at the airport, I'd buy a ticket ... Bob P B-))

Beautiful composition. I love your depictions of Alaska. Colors and clarity are perfect. Well balanced and composed. I feel as though I am traveling down the highway.

You did it again with a classic photograph and unbelievable, entrancing colors of sky, mountains, and trees. I like the sun peeking through the clouds to illuminate some of the left side snow. Lovely.

This landscape is impressive. The contradiction of the sky colors with the snow-capped mountains and the autumn-colored trees below is striking. Your photo has impressive depth and is excellent focused and exposed. The panorama format is sufficient. The landscape is perfect composed and framed. The composition is balanced.

Hi Pat, I love the beautiful tones of the mountain and sky too! I also love the POV! The curve in the road just draws you into that beautiful scene. Your scenic shots are always lovely and a joy to view! You did a super job of cropping the image giving it a lovely wide angle. This is one of those shots you could gaze at forever!!!! Simply breathtaking!!! :o) :o) :o) Nancy

Another stunning landscape capture with the Alaska Pat touch of magic. Perfect focus and framing as ever. The colours are beautiful, I witnessed the same purples when I visited New Zealand. Thank you for your support throughout the year and a Merry christmas to you and yours, look forward to seeing more of you in 2022

Wow Pat, this is absolutely stunning photograph with the pink touches on the tips of the mountains and the sky.
Great details, colors of the winter scenery and composition with the road that leads us in to the picture.
Thank you for sharing!
Happy holidays, my friend!
