The photos in the first five rows of this page continue our walk up the road from home to photograph autumn colors on September 8th. Starting in Row 6 you'll see photos which we took as we drove out the Chena Hot Springs Road on our way to Angel Rocks to climb and harvest Lingonberries on September 10th.

Here are three photos which were taken from Gettinger's Field, which is about a one-half mile walk up the road from our house. In the first and third photos you can see Chena Hot Springs Road.

The first photo here shows the yellow leaves of a Quaking Aspen (Populus tremuloides). The second shot shows a much-zoomed photo of the Alaska Range. The prominent peak towards the left is Mt. Hayes (13,832 ft = 4,216 m).

Now it's September 10th and we are driving out the Chena Hot Springs Road en route to Angel Rocks. We made several stops to take photos of autumn colors. Here are three of them.

Here are three more autumn color photos which we took at a pond beside the Chena Hot Springs Road. In the second shot you can see a birdhouse. This area is a State Recreation Area, so we assume that the birdhouse was placed there by the administrators of the recreation area. We don't know what kind of bird it was intended to attract.

Have you noticed that most of these shots were taken along ponds? The reason is because looking across the ponds is kind of the only way it's possible to get shots into the distance.

The first two shots in this row were taken while looking across the Chena River - another opportunity to see into the distance. The third shot shows what things look like if one is not looking across a body of water.
