Mountains and Canyons Photo Gallery 1
Stephen Krieg's Mountains Photos and Canyons Photo Gallery includes photographs from National Parks, wilderness areas, and National Forests across the United States and Canada.
Mountain light: there's nothing like it anywhere else on Earth. The higher, the better. Weather swings, storms, sunshine, layers upon layers of stars at night. Timberline. Naked cold rock and clinging battered krummholz. Pristine lakes in the cirques of long-disappeared glaciers. Fir scented forests giving way to the blast of cooling alpine wind, cooling the sweat on your face and back. Upward and onward.
