Miss Alaska? Check out this great photo website!
I recently stumbled upon this great website of a photographer who has documented all national parks in the U.S. in large format photography. Great shots of national parks in Alaska too:

Click on the homepage to check out photos of other countries too.

OMG, great photos, JC98! Thanks so much for sharing this site with all of us.
We are going to Yellowstone & Tetons this fall and there are great photos of that area, too.
I have a question:
What are star tracks?
There's a photo of star tracks over the Teton's.

BayouGal, sorry, I don't know what star tracks are. It's not my website. I wish I could take pictures like this person, or even have the time to travel everywhere like they did!
Have fun in Yellowstone & GT! I haven't been there myself (it's on my wish list), so I'm looking forward to hearing more about it from you when you get back.

Well, okay then.
I do believe that "star tracks" are created in a photo when the camera in on a tripod, shutter left open, and the film records the movement of the stars - actually, the stars stay still but the camera moves as the earth rotates.
I THINK that is what you are talking about, BG, without actually seeing the photo of course.

jorr's question reminds me of a real life experience.
College class. Geology. GREAT professor. Basically, we learned everything via a slide show (including the personal history of the professor's two marriages and kids since most of the pictures had photos of family members in them!) Anyway, as we were studying volcanoes and intently focusing on the formations in the photo...
... we ALL realized at the same time that SOMETHING was in the foreground of the picture we were looking at intently. By habit, we had been concentrating on the peaks of the volcanoes that created the Hawaiian islands, when we heard him say "Oh, well, when you've seen one peak, you've seen them all". Perfect timing as he clicked to the next slide - away from a double page photo from Playboy with a topless Hawaiian woman in the foreground.
Perfect timing. He was begged to go back to previous slide - but declined
