About 10 years ago, we traveled to Alaska for a visit to Denali National Park before an Alaskan cruise. After spending several days there, we boarded an Alaskan Rail train. The train would take us to Whittier, where we would board our cruise ship. This 8-hour train ride is something everyone should have on their bucket list. The scenery is spectacular and when the weather is right (as it was on this day), Denali can be seen in all of its grandeur. Our train car had a glass dome for viewing the gorgeous Alaskan countryside. I quickly determined that shooting through the dome was not going to work due to the reflections, so I quickly headed for the open-air observation decks to shoot images from the speeding train. This image was taken from the caboose of the train somewhere along our trip. The lone home in the middle of the backcountry gave me a taste of life in Alaska.
