quest

a long or arduous search

*****

Mt Denali, Alaska.

We spent the better part of a day on a quest

to view the Mt Denali peak and capture an image,

however, we were thwarted by cloud, all day long.

Then, as we made our way to Fairbanks

the next morning our coach driver stopped

and allowed us time to capture this image

of the mighty mountain.

I have been told that ice has a bluish tinge to it,

I just hope others can see the blue

plus

(of temperature) above zero.

It is difficult for me to comprehend that parts of the world

accept a negative 40 degrees as normal.

However, I guess those same parts of the world would

find it equally difficult to live in our climate which

even in southern Victoria exceeds

plus 40 degrees in summer.

whitish

almost white in colour

Three of my images are close to white,

whereas the balance is whitish,

in my opinion.

As close to white as I could find.

Creamy white

White Daisies

Nature’s white blossom

Whitish…

Roses.

Australian White Ibis

 

Must confess to being surprised at how white

the Dover Cliffs were when I first sighted them…

… and disappointed that the polar bear is 

not as white as I was led to believe.
