Sunlit Spruce Trees Alaska

Afternoon light falls on these spruce trees in Alaska.

I was going through some of my Alaska pics and found this one.  We were on are way to Denali NP when I spotted a brown bear along the Nenana River.  It was late afternoon and the sunlight on the trees and the bear was perfect.  I love side light like this, it just makes everything glow.  While my wife and I shot lots of pics of the bear it was just too far away.  With my intentions focused on the bear I did manage to take this one shot of the spruce trees.

These spruce trees are everywhere in Denali and make up the majority of the forest; they are a photogenic tree and much much different than what we have here in the Eastern Sierra.
