Alaska Train Reflective Photography

Traveling on the train to Denali Park a gentleman told us to try reflective photography. I thought that sounded really fun so went outside between the railroad cars. I leaned out over the side of the train and took some shots of both the side of the train and the passing scenery. I really liked the effect. There is always something new to learn.

Alaska, Romantic Weekend Getaways; Cruise Port Skagway Excursion[Boomer and Senior Travel TV #43]

Skagway Alaska was the first port cruise stopped at. The cruise ship took us on a tour up the Yukon White Pass. We saw the Inukshuk, the symbol of the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, These were made by tourist but we learned the history of the Inuits. The train and the bus tour take very similar paths. You can walk amongst the Gold Rush history, shop for souvenirs, ride the train, watch the Days of ’98’ Show with Sophie Smith and the Can Can girls, and get your picture with Sarah Palin.
