Autumn in Denali

Denali National Park, Interior, Landscapes, NatureBy Patrick EndresAugust 31, 20124 Comments

I spent 5 days in Denali in latter August this year. The skies were at times to void of clouds, but one can’t complain when Denali reveals itself in it’s typical dramatic fashion. Here is a gallery collection of a few from that trip. I purposely focused on the mountain, and had good luck with…

Painted hills – Polychrome

Denali National Park, Landscapes, MountainsBy Patrick EndresAugust 29, 20126 Comments

The region of Polychrome Pass in Denali National Park is known for its steeply bordered road and for the many colors that appear in the Alaska Range mountains. The morning light leaked through a few clouds that were brewing around the Polychrome mountains on this August morning, and a mix of warm and cool colors…

Hello darkness – the aurora borealis

Aurora borealis, Denali National Park, Interior, LandscapesBy Patrick EndresAugust 27, 20125 Comments

It is that time of year in interior Alaska when the skies begin to darken once again, and those brilliant stars appear in the late night sky. They are a welcomed sight for me, and on my last trip into Denali Park, I woke at 2am to go to the bathroom and looked up into…

Para gliding

Northern Living, SouthcentralBy Patrick EndresAugust 22, 20121 Comment

While driving through Hatcher Pass on a late July evening, a group of para gliders were having fun riding the wind currents at this mountainous area. It looked like a lot of fun!

Matanuska Glacier

Glaciers, Landscapes, Nature, Southcentral, WildflowersBy Patrick EndresAugust 20, 20126 Comments

The Matanuska Glacier is located on the North side of the Chugach mountains, along the Glenn Highway in southcentral, Alaska. It is one of the few road accessible glaciers in the state, and is beautifully situated against a dramatic mountain back drop. During my July visit, the eskimo potato blossoms were profuse and the pink…

Brown bear and wildflowers

Bears, Katmai National Park, Southwest, WildlifeBy Patrick EndresAugust 17, 20124 Comments

This is a cropped version of a photo I took on coastal Katmai last month. Even at 700mm, I could have been closer, but thanks to the great quality of the 500mm lens and the file of the 5D Mark III, I am able to crop in and still have substantial file size for reproduction.…

Paws, claws and bugs

Bears, Katmai National Park, Southwest, WildlifeBy Patrick EndresAugust 15, 2012Leave a comment

An open grassy meadow, with white daisies dotting the perimeter serves as a good spot for this brown bear to scratch its back by rolling around on the surface. I liked the display of both the pads of the bear’s feet, and its long, distinctive claws. Those claws can do some serious dirt removal, in…

Brown bear in lupine

Bears, Katmai National Park, Southwest, Wildflowers, WildlifeBy Patrick EndresAugust 13, 20123 Comments

Coastal Katmai is famous for its large brown bear population. They forage voraciously during the rich and productive summer season, enjoying clams, fish, berries, and other plants, as they pack on the fat for a winter hibernation. This bear had walked through camp early one morning, so we grabbed our camera gear and followed it…

Savannah sparrow on lupine

Birds, Katmai National Park, Southwest, Wildflowers, WildlifeBy Patrick EndresAugust 9, 20123 Comments

During the summer months, the Savannah sparrow is commonly seen and heard in the meadows around much of Alaska. They like to perch on the tall plants which, if your timings is right, can be fireweed or lupine. While photographing brown bears in a meadow along the Katmai coast (bears that were so busy feeding…

Calendar Cover Selected – Sleeping Polar Bear

PublicationsBy Patrick EndresAugust 7, 2012Leave a comment

A big thank you to all who have contributed your thoughts on which picture I should use on the cover of my 2014 Profiles in Nature Calendar. I have capitulated extensively in the process, but in the end have chosen the sleeping polar bear. The Muskox was a personal favorite, but I think it has…
