I figured I would show you two loves of my life, leaving me honey for later.
fall reflectionWhile riding the alaska railroad train in the fall, we came to a siding to wait for a frieght train. two trains passingThe frieght train as it approached. winter wonderlandWhile in Anchorage alaska, we drove down to Portage glacier and was able to capture the new snow on the rivers and trees. winter wonderland 1 train in the yardAnchorage isnt use to alot of snow, so when i saw this Seward bound train sitting in a snowy yard, I had to pull over and get the shot. cook inlet On the way back from portage, we pulled over to stretch and caught the sunrise on the water, mixed with ice.train in the mountainsAs we were taking the picture of the water, we heard a train come through. train in the moutain 2 train in the mountain 3

    Good shots! Especially liked winter wonderland, winter wonderland1 and cook inlet. Alaska is my favorite place to travel and it's so photogenic you almost can't take a bad picture.

    in the train passing shot i was in the passenger train waiting, and just leaning out and taking the shot I was so lucky on the other set of shots, that day was so snowy, and wasn't very light, and it just cleared up about the time the train came through.
