Autumn in southeast Alaska is what I like to call high-risk-high-reward. 9 days out of 10, it will be raining. But on that 10th day...

The first false summit (out of about 5 😅) of AB Mountain in SE Alaska A spot so nice, even a meagre composition can be decent. #mountains #alaska #photography

Late summer sun Last fall I picked up a used Sony zv1 to have something pocketable to mess around with. [Same sensor as the RXv, but for half the price (no electronic viewfinder tho)] #wildflowers #photography #sonyalpha
Fireweed with the little zv1 aperture cranked to 11... which I think is about the equivalent to f22 full frame

6am light on Deep Lake, along the Chilkoot Trail in NW British Columbia Sunrise was a bust, because the lake is tucked into a deep valley, but it's a beautiful spot regardless :) 24mm fov #photography #sunrise #hiking

A view down the fabled Chilkoot Pass at the Alaska / BC border. #mountainmonday If it looks like there is an extremely steep drop down into that valley, it's because the climb up to the pass culminates in the famous "Golden Staircase" :) #landscapephotography #hiking #alaska

#stunday Stunning reflections on Lake Bennett, on the BC / Yukon border. This lake is almost never calm... always a North or South wind blowing through :) #photography #reflections #mountains #yukonterritory

Moody summer days at the north end of the deepest and longest fjord in North America (the Lynn Canal of SE Alaska) #landscapephotography #hiking #mountains
I put the view from the first false summit of AB Mountain up there against any other vista in SE Alaska 🫡

Live look at wild geraniums on the slope of AB Mountain in southeast Alaska. Reeaalllly hoping the rain holds off until I can get off the exposed face of this mountain 😅 #wildflowers #alaska #mountains #hiking
Bonus dwarf dogwood!

A "height of summer" view of Lake Bennett and Bennett station. Bennett runs 27 mi North/South and straddles the BC / Yukon border (and is one of the prettiest places on Earth [I'm biased 😅]) #mountains #stunday #photography #travelcanada

Alpine forget-me-nots on top of Caribou Mt in the southern Yukon. 24mm, 100 iso, f5, 1/500 shutter speed... I needed a quick shutter to freeze those tiny flowers in the wind :) #wildflowers #mountains #yukonterritory #photography

Late spring ice lead in Lake Atlin I liked the shapes in the ice... but I also liked the wispy clouds... so you get both :) 24mm, no edits #britishcolumbia #photography #mountains

There is a kind of early summer green in the Alaskan rainforest that I can't quite describe... The most vibrant green you've ever seen. (Trail pics from a 21.5 mile day on the Chilkoot Tr) #photography #hiking #alaska #rainforest

Windy Arm and Lime Mountain Post-holing in deep slush totally forgiven when it rewards with one of my favorite vistas in the southern Yukon 😁 4x5 crop from the 2x3 original (why did I include so much flat blue sky in the frame?) #photography #hiking #mountains #yukonterritory

A #mountainmonday addition to the unofficial Atlin Mountain fan-page 😅 I liked that the ice on Lake Atlin almost acts as a reflection of the mountain. (16x9 crop from the 2x3 original) #photography #britishcolumbia #clouds
