jamesy from christchurch, New ZealandBeautiful colours DJ but I think ti should be renamed raspberry mountain 8 Sep 2008 5:11am @jamesy: Thanks Deb -- hehe -- and i agree -- Raspberry mountain would suit, visually! Unfortunately there were only wild cranberries and blueberries to be found! :) Kylie Greenan from AustraliaI love the name and the rich colours in your image, the foreground almost looks like underwater coral, really pretty DJ! 8 Sep 2008 5:28am @Kylie Greenan: Thanks Kylie! And now that you say that, i totally agree! It does look like coral! Strange and awesome! :) Monique from Koh Samui, ThailandA great landscape and warm, rich colors, almost like autumncolors, great composition! 8 Sep 2008 6:20am dobbino from Cape Town, South AfricaThe photo doesn't need words DJ - it speaks for itself. What wonderful colour! You are making a lot of us very envious of the trip you've had! 8 Sep 2008 7:23am @dobbino: Thanks Rob! And, if it makes you feel any better -- i want to go back! I need more time up there! ;) Linerberry from Sumner, Christchurch, New ZealandNo worries dj...simply stunning landscape and wonderful shot...the colours are so rich and almost alight with fire:-) 8 Sep 2008 7:31am @Linerberry: Thanks Liners! Yes -- such a strong color palette -- who would have guessed! :) Mirko Herzner from Mühlheim am Main, GermanyOh wow. These colors alone must be worth the trip to such a remote location. This is awesome! 8 Sep 2008 7:37am @Mirko Herzner: Thanks Mirko, and yes indeed -- this was the surprise highlight of the trip! :) It was totally worth all the effort! Lorraine from Gatineau, CanadaAhh Autumn colours, is there anything more beautiful! 8 Sep 2008 8:38am Observing from West Cheshire, United KingdomReally interesting colors dj, I never knew the tundra could be so vibrant. 8 Sep 2008 8:56am @Observing: Thanks Mike -- it was probably the 'highlight' of the trip -- i just love unusually bright colors... reds, oranges, yellows -- and it was so strange to see them in a landscape this far north! :) Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, FranceLike this wild landscape with these warm autumnal colors. Beautiful shot. 8 Sep 2008 9:19am Vinod from Bangalore, IndiaAmazing place... Wonderful color... I guess HE mixed the colors here and painted other places lol 8 Sep 2008 9:44am @Vinod: Hello Vinod and thanks for the comment! Yes -- i think i agree w/ you! This must have been HIS original palette -- and then from here he decided on the colors schemes for everywhere else! ;) Cheers! grouser from Ludlow, United KingdomBeautiful and what a contrast to the earlier visit. 8 Sep 2008 9:48am Cole from Chicago, United StatesThese are beautiful colors. The "blueberry mountains" also contrasts with the lovely red. Nice shot. 8 Sep 2008 11:50am Fliss from Melbourne Beach, United StatesThis photo needs no words... I can't get over the colours... I just imagined up there to be alot more barren... 8 Sep 2008 11:58am @Fliss: Thanks Fliss - Me too... but what a pleasantly astounding surprise! :) GJC from Kyoto, JapanQuite the contrast from yesterday. I love the little clouds tucked in the hills on the left. 8 Sep 2008 12:36pm @GJC: Hey mate, thanks! And yes, besides the colors, that is my favorite part too! All day long they were 'nestled' in that crater -- was very emotionally soothing in some natural and indescribable way! ;) Laurie from New Jersey, United StatesYou may not have written much for this one but it sure does say a lot. The colors are astounding, a real symphony for the eyes. 8 Sep 2008 12:42pm @Laurie: Thanks Laurie!
