I admit it. I had preconceived ideas about what the Yukon Territory would look like. For years, I had read books where tough men in heavy parkas and mukluks fought their way through snowstorms and across glaciers in search of gold. Luckily for us, our visit to the Yukon was much less work.
I was blown away by the beauty of the place. I expected wilderness, which was everywhere, but not the fantastic colors- the greens of the shrubs and grasses growing around the rocks, the wildflowers in bloom and that wonderful deep blue sky. It was late Spring so there was still plenty of snow and ice, but the plant life was taking advantage of the warmer temperatures and longer days.
With this particular photo, I love the way the melting ice reflects the sky. I also like the way the stream leads you to the mountains where it finds its beginnings. The Yukon was a fascinating place and provided a great opportunity to photograph some amazing landscapes.
