The lingering afterglow of an August evening delicately bathes Mt. McKinley ("Denali") as darkness settles on Denali National Park. Denali (Athbascan for "High One") is the highest mountain in North America, and dominates the Alaskan landscape. A maker of its own weather, it is typically obscured by clouds, much to the frustration of many short-term visitors. Really just experimenting, I was photographing in the near-dark of a very cold late August evening, measuring exposures in minutes. Over the years I've tried to duplicate this image, but without success.
