Alaskan Warmth

Taken last August on the south slope of the Brooks Range, Matthews River area.
Alaska weather changes rapidly. The ability to build a fire can be critical. This was an early evening fire for cheer more than anything else.

Nikon D300
Nikkor 18-200
f/9
programmed auto
1/320 sec, ISO not recorded?
Capture NX2 processing.

I love the fire as a foreground object with such a beautiful view behind! Really nice!

Thank you Varina,
Your comments are always appreciated. Perhaps this is the first photo for me
that you did not have a nit. [grins]
This fire brings back a flood of memories. 14 days in the wilderness backpacking
and exploring leaves a deep crevice in one's brain.

That's a huge fire in a well lit image. :smile:
