Denali National Park, Alaska, USA. From a vantage thirty miles away, the largest mountain in North America dominates the vista on this rare clear day. For perspective of this giant of a mountain: the distance between the south peak (left), the tallest, and the north peak (right) is 2 miles; thus, there is a six mile span of the mountain in this close up view, with more than that not seen leading to the base on each side. Enjoy! EXIF: 200 mm, f/16, 1/640 sec, ISO 200, Av mode; monopod for stability.

This is one spectacular shot of this beauty, Thad. The stats above are appreciated to try to grasp the mass of this mountain. Still it would have been better if you were standing on top of one of those peaks so that we could get a real sense of the dimensions. The blues in the mountain really dominate the beauty of this posting. Nice use of contrast to show some of the depth. I love the layering of the peaks as they grow larger in the distance.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

Avery nice capture of this huge snow covered mountain. I would have never guessed that 2 miles distance.

There's one question that's been gnawing at me for quite some time. Is this the mountain the bear went over?
A fantastic shot of the mountain peaks, Thad. Wonderful details and a fabulous view.

Even viewing the image and reading your list of facts, the enormity escapes me because that is such a wide distance in real life, but in the photo it is just a few inches. Fantastic shot, Thad. One to be proud of certainly.

Just seen this in the VB and thought it as a fantastic shot but now reading your narrative i have had a new insight into this view. 6 miles in one shot?! Blimey!!!! It is hard to grasp just how immense these mountains are! On a different note, the clarity and composition are perfection! Im really glad i saw this today! Thanks for sharing :D
