This is a view of the Denali mountain range, as seen from Talkeetna, Alaska. This video is just under a minute long, and I took it on September 28, 2007.
One thing that isn’t apparent in this particular video is one of the great things about Alaska: I was the only person on the “beach” in Talkeetna when I was shooting this.
I try to tell people that that’s one of the special things about Alaska. It’s not that it’s prettier than a lot of other places. Colorado is pretty, New Mexico is pretty, etc., but in those states it can be hard to find a place in nature where you can really be alone. In Alaska, especially in the shoulder seasons and off seasons, it’s easy to find some “alone with nature” time.
