Mount Hayes of the Alaska Range is illuminated by diffuse dawn light in winter.

Dawn Repose

Mount Hayes, Alaska Range

Another view of Mount Hayes and the Alaska Range as a winter dawn slowly illuminated the upper flanks of the mountain. Clouds approaching from the south gradually filtered the sunlight, softening the light and changing how it appeared on the mountain. Despite below-zero temperatures I stood in deep snow for an hour or more to watch the amazing procession of light unfold before me. The light reminded me of a thin veil gracefully draped across the peaks of Mount Hayes.

I also love the subtle play of diagonal lines in this image. The clouds, the mountain, the foothills immediately below it, the slope directly in front of me, and even the trees form a complex interplay of lines in this photo, adding complexity and drama. This might be my favorite photo from this trip! Photo © copyright by Chris Ridgway.

ChromaLuxe™ Metal Prints

ChromaLuxe™ Metal Prints

ChromaLuxe™ HD metal prints are a visually stunning way to display your art. Unlike lower-quality metal prints, ChromaLuxe™ HD prints are made using a process of heat infusion, pressure, and time to permanently sublimate inks into the metal. This requires more time and precision, and hence costs more to produce. HD metal prints offer unparalleled reproduction of details, vibrant colors, and durability. HD Metal Prints are also surprisingly light and easy to hang with the included cleat and level. Options include matte or gloss finish; if you expect to hang your image near a bright window, consider matte for reduced glare. Mount options include a flush silver or black side, as well as a recessed aluminum float mount (floating 3/4" off the wall). Frames are available; please contact us for a quote if you are interested in framing.

Please allow three weeks for production and delivery.
