my world #9: the train to denali

All of these photos were taken from inside the train which we rode from Anchorage to Denali National Park. Yes, even the first one, which I took from my seat as the train went around the bend.  I haven’t done a good job of capturing the majesty and breathtaking beauty of the land as we rode through, but I’m not sure any photo can do that.

We did see scattered wildlife, but none I was able to photograph as other than a blur.
