Autumn in Alaska - A Farewell to Summer

A video slide show of photographs and footage taken on the Denali Highway in Interior Alaska. The day we did the drive, it was in the low 30s, windy, and we even got snowed on in the higher elevations. Despite the overcast skies, the color of the foliage POPPED!

The song was removed because of the song I used by Josh Groban. Bummer. :/

I used "February Song" by Josh Groban as my background music because I felt the lyrics did a good job of describing the end of summer (the 'old friend') and the onset of winter.

February Song - Josh Groban:

Where has that old friend gone
Lost in a February song
Tell him it won't be long
Til he opens his eyes, opens his eyes
Where is that simple day
Before colors broke into shades
And how did I ever fade
Into this life, into this life

And I never want to let you down
Forgive me if I slip away
When all that I've known is lost and found
I promise you I, I'll come back to you one day

Morning is waking up
And sometimes it's more than just enough
When all that you need to love
Is in front of your eyes
It's in front of your eyes

And I never want to let you down
Forgive me if I slip away
Sometimes it's hard to find my ground
Cause I keep on falling as I try to get away
From this crazy world

INSTRUMENTAL

And I never want to let you down
Forgive me if I slip away
When all that I've known is lost and found
I promise you I, I'll come back to you one day

Where has that old friend gone
Lost in a February song
Tell him it won't be long
Til he opens his eyes
Opens his eyes
