Description
On a dampish August day, we drove up into the hills off Chena Hot Springs Road near Fairbanks, Alaska, to pick apples in an old orchard. As we left, I was struck by the colors on this large mountain ash just above the apple, plum and cherry trees. While the leaves were mostly green, a few branches were displaying golden leaves of autumn - a preview of the inevitable seasonal changes to come. The crowns of the fruit trees are visible at the bottom of the picture, with the natural forest in the center. The hills are covered with a mix of dark green conifers and light green leaves of aspen and birch. Beyond the hills is the blue-green of the Tanana Valley. This photo is available in two color versions, as well as both monochrome and selective color.
