Denali from Breakfast

I took this image of Denali, Mt McKinley, as I sipped a cup of coffee at breakfast. The native Athabascan name for the mountain is "Denali", which has the English translation of "The Great One". The peak just west and south of Denali is "Sultana", which literally means "Denali's wife". Another nearby mountain, Mt Hunter, was originally called 'Begguya', meaning 'child of Denali'. The current name of that mountain is Mt Foraker. I can think of no stronger example showing the different relationship the indigenous people share with the land to our own. We've officially named the mountain after an ex-president-elect and a Senator from Ohio. What a shame. Denali National Park, Alaska.

I'm constantly working towards furthering my stock lists, and improving my portfolio. These images are all of wild subjects, in their natural environment. Each photo is available for stock use, and photographic prints, screensavers, note cards or calendars are also available.
