"God's Country!" might be the only way to define it in 2 words. Shot from a tiny "island" [30' flat rock] in the center of a large wilderness lake. See PROP #1 below for MUSIC VIDEO… PROP #4 to see how we got there...

"Way up north (north to Alaska)
"Way up north (north to Alaska)

"North to Alaska
You go north, the rush is on
North to Alaska
I go North, the rush is on..."

    America, the Beautiful. My, this photo is spine tingling Rob! Love the patterns & lines from the lake's ripples & reflections. Powerful how the mountains swoop upwards towards the crisp blue sky, and the snow peaks almost look like silver linings. Perfect composition. Absolutely majestic!
