Print of the Month
We are proud to present our new Print of the Month – Castles. This image was made in the Books Cliffs area on the Western slope of Colorado. The color of the Books Cliffs varies in luxurious pastels and is quietly beautiful in soft light but for this image I saw shapes and forms that called for a B&W interpretation as I envisioned the light. The title comes from the sandstone formation that is prominent and the surrounding formations that support it. As always (so far) the original file was made using B&W film for a classic rendering of tones. Please stop over and visit Fall River Photography. The Print of the month is offered at a reduced price for a limited time.
Tundra Sunrise
I was up for sunrise in Deadhorse last week. That’s not too hard, it’s coming up around 8:00 am or so now. The days are getting much shorter. Hey is that snow? Umm, yep. It’s winter up here. Wasn’t too cold though, high 20s right now. The arctic foxes are in whiteout and I thought the vast majority of birds had left. Caught some scoters in the slush though, they looked like they were having fun. The Arctic ocean is freezing up quickly.

Keystone Canyon
Continuing down the Richardson Highway took us through the Keystone Canyon. Beautiful water falls and massive ornate cliff faces enthralled us. We scouted some photographs for future reference and made a few quick ones. The rain had been heavy for the previous couple of days so the water was high and a little muddy. The water falls were stunning, Bridal Veil being the famous one on this stop. I really liked the canyon walls against the water myself. It was also interesting to note that a path, two horses abreast, was cut into these canyon walls as part of the trail from Valdez to Fairbanks. Supplies from the port in Valdez were hauled by horse sleds up the trail that is now the Richardson highway to support the miners up there.
Did I mention the colors?
By the way, did I mention that the fall colors are out? Couldn’t remember…
McLaren Summit
McLaren Summit at 4086 feet is not the highest mountain pass I have ever driven up (short by almost 10 thousand feet) but the view, well it speaks for itself. Only Atigan Pass in Alaska is higher. The valley below McLaren is absolutely beautiful, the lazy Susitna River in the evening light makes a slivery highway running towards the distant Alaska Range peaks. The rain was out on this late evening, but really, it it only served up the drama instead of damping the mood.
