I am starting 2015 on Fred Miranda Forum with another photo from my Baffin Island 2014 Photo Adventure. Wishing everybody all the best in the New Year I am inviting you to comments and discussions. As usually they are appreciated.
Below you can find a description to this photo which I called the \"Faraway Passage\":
Before I went for my trip to Baffin Island I researched for hours possible locations for the best view points. On the map they all looked pretty close and not that hard to access. The reality proved to be different. The hike itself was not that difficult because there was not much of a difference in the elevation, but there were other problems. The main issue was with natural forces: glaciers& rivers. They constantly destroy the bottom of the valley making it unstable, with trail being frequently washed off and invisible.
Fortunately, after two days of hiking through the Auyuittuq National Park I have finally reached one of the points near Mt. Thor. I envisioned this spot earlier on the map as a plausible candidate for one of the best angles to showcase this legendary mountain. A low water level in the Weassel River made it possible to cross it and shoot this composition. This was one of the most colourful sunsets during the entire trip. The warm shades on the sky that afternoon made a welcoming invitation to continue this faraway journey.
