I'm honored that my photograph, "Winter's Echo of Summer's Joy," was selected for inclusion in the "Of the World" traveling exhibition. From the announcement (see the link in the comments):

Here's one from a few months ago during our visit to Alaska. I'm not presenting this as a great, artistic shot, but as an illustration of scale. We were pleased to get to see Denali at all, even if only for a few minutes on the last morning we were there. It's easy to see how impressive the mountain is, but harder to capture. Here's a long-lens look across the vastness of the Park, captured from the tundra corridor just before the bridge at the Savage River.

Rising sharply about 15 miles away in the foreground is the rugged front-country terrain of the Alaska Range. Looming directly behind it—dwarfing the middle-ground ridge—is the massive twin-summit massif of Denali. That's over 70 miles away from where I was standing.

When you look at a scene like this at 800mm, you're not just fighting atmospheric haze and thermal turbulence and convection across miles of open wilderness; you're also working against planetary geometry. At over 70 miles, Earth's curvature drops the horizon by roughly 3,000 feet—swallowing the mountain's base. Yet Denali punches so high into the Arctic troposphere that it still completely dominates the skyline, looking almost like a painted backdrop.
