Alpenglow (Denali National Park & Preserve)

            The alpenglow in morning is different than the afternoon 
So some people mentioned while passing by on a hike
But then I had a chance to see a sight, a mountain in the haze
I saw the glow of sunshine across its peaks
And stood in wide wonder
I’ve now come to appreciate the alpine glow in the afternoon
And am so much better for the experience! 

Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one afternoon while walking around the North Face Lodge area in Denali National Park & Preserve. The focus of this image was Denali and its peaks seemingly rising above a nearby ridgeline. I decided to angle my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward and capture some of the nearby tundra and trees. Denali would then be in the upper portion of the image, and I could minimize what I felt was more negative space with the blue skies. In someways, the layering of the terrain to my front gave a stepping stone type view to the image. The eyes would be led to the nearby trees with their colors of autumn starting to come out. Next would come the rise across the two ridge lines, with Denali rising above to complete the setting. I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation while playing around as I learned how to work with DxO PhotoLabs 3 that I’d recently purchased after moving away from Capture NX2.
