Viewing Marshall Pass from Thompson Pass, Alaska.  I did the panorama to show the full expanse of the scene.

The variety of whites here looks great, Gary.  I'm sure enjoying how the sunshine lights up the high peaks as well as the sense of depth provided by the shadowed peaks on the right.

Gary, for me this has the perfect amount of blue in the cold shadow area. Some images seem pretty heavy in that respect and look about odd to me. This really works with regard to overall natural appearance throughout. I like the composition as it is laid out too.

Another wonderful pano from our most northern state.

I think one of the reasons I like panoramas is that they are capable of conveying that feeling of being overwhelmed by the majesty of the scene that surrounds us.  This is one of those scenes that can take your breath away, and this is one of those panoramas that conveys that feeling of being overwhelmed.  No exaggerated perspective, over-long exposure, super-saturation, or any other "camera tricks" that distort reality; just the magnificence of Nature.  Well done!

Clean, pure simple and it goes on and on and on. This is another really nice pan you've done Gary. I am loving these Alaska views.
