A Quiet Sunset Adventure With Many Days to Follow (Denali National Park & Preserve)

            A Quiet Sunset Adventure With Many Days to Follow
I found myself taking in the light of a sunset 
Finished was a many mile journey through Denali and its national park
Clouds were seemingly painting across the early evening sky
I'm sure others have seen settings like this much the world over
For me this was "Real Alaska!"
There was no congestion
Just a beautiful glory in the mountains
A thrill to the eye
An adventure for the mind
The Spirit could be wild and free.

Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured early evening while staying for a few nights at the North Face Lodge in Denali National Park & Preserve. The view is looking to the west-northwest not long after the sun had set. With the haze and clouds, the light brought out a color across the western skies. That red color that sailors would supposedly delight at. 

In composing the image I found a high enough point to somewhat look over the nearby trees to the nearby ridgelines and peaks. That would be in the bottom portion of the image. I’d then fill the rest with the skies and colors present. 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. I decided to bring out a little of the details in the nearby landscape but not enough to distract the eye from the sunset colors in the sky.
