Description
Cloud Enshrouded Mountain White Pass. In this horizontal scenic, a stark mountainside, its slopes intricately adorned with patterns of snow, is briefly glimpsed through the passing clouds. The soft forms of the clouds are contrasted against the hard lines of the snow fields and rocky crags of the edifice. The mood is gray and somber, yet dramatic. This shot was photographed near White Pass. White Pass was the major route from Skagway to the Yukon during the Yukon gold rush. The summit of White Pass is just over the border into Canada. A rail line was built along the trail to facilitate mining. Now, the trains transport tourists through this rugged and beautiful landscape. Look for my many other shots of the scenery along this rail line, and of Alaska.
