Autumn in the Alaska mountains is an explosion of colors.  This American Bald Eagle sits over looking an Alaska river bed in early fall.  The trees have turned but the mountain side grasses in the background are just beginning to realize it is autumn.  The day is rainy and the light is very soft, the quietness in this image can be felt the same way it was to be there.  Edition of 500.
