That “magic” may be one good way of describing the “Delta” south of Memphis. It’s filled with cotten fields, great history, and lots of friendly people. My recent, and far too short, excursion gave me a much greater appreciation for this area, plus, it’s definitely on my “list” to return!

One of the most wonderful places I’ve ever enjoyed is Denali National Park in Alaska. While it’s filled with great opportunities for photography, there is little doubt that the “mountain,” or Denali as it’s locally known, is just overwhelming. The floor elevation is in the 2,000′ range and the peak is just over 20,000′! This presents (when it’s visible) an 18,000′ mountain view that will take your breath away.

It would be easy to post additional views, and they’re probably be some in the future, it’s one of those vistas my eye never tires of taking in. I hope it provides for you a taste of a very special park.

When I’ve returned from Denali National Park, one of the most common questions is, “Did you see any bears”? The answer is always an affirmative, bears are there!

My “view” of Denali which makes it different than any other park I’ve visited is this . . . Most parks are for visitors, and there are animals which live there, you may see some! Denali is a park for animals which allows visitors! All the “visitors” to Denali are either logged in as campers or on supervised school buses used to shuttle them around. As such, animals aren’t threatened by the careful, and restricted, visitors’ presence. E.g., the person to bear minimum distance is 1/4 mile! And, it’s the person’s responsibility to maintain! The net result is some spectacular opportunities to see and photograph animals.

All that to say, you’re always on the lookout for animals, especially that 1/4 mile bear limit. So, when surveying the hillside for some landscape photography and, surprise, someone has already come for dinner, it made for a quick picture, and great memory, and a prompt departure.

As a strong thunderstorm moved across the canyon and plateau, its power and majesty testify to its Creator! This was indeed a grand view of this storm.
