Saturday Snapshot

Welcome to Saturday Snapshot which is hosted by Alyce At Home With Books. Photos can be old or new, and on any given subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give in the caption is entirely up to you. Please don't post random photos you see on the internet.

As promised, here are more photos from my recent visit to Denali National Park.  To get to the park we took the Alaska Railroad.

It was a great way to see the scenery and relax on the 8 hour trip from Anchorage to Denali like this:

and this.

 Each car features huge glass windows for excellent observation.


And when hunger pangs hit you can enjoy a tasty meal while watching the Alaskan wilderness pass by.

  10. I would love to take a train journey some day. I like the way the curve of the train is mirrored by the curve of the river in the second picture.

    Here's my Snapshot.
