An engine from the Alaska Railroad in Seward, Alaska.
Everyday I drive by the train parked next to this beautiful field of lupine, I tell myself I need a photo of that scene before the lupine blooms out. Well today I finally made the time to capture a photograph.

I liked how the only sun light to been seen anywhere around just happened to be illuminating this giant whale.

Another look at the beautiful Kenai coast outside of Seward, Alaska.
You can see why this area is a challenging, but amazing place to kayak. Not only do you often have rough seas, but getting to shore can be pretty tough in many areas. But what a place to explore up close!
There in an extensive book written on Kenai Fjords National Park titled A Stern and Rock-Bound Coast. Seems like an appropriate name!
This was also from Monday night. I liked how a little bit of sun was lighting up the green hillside – it almost made it glow.

I would have liked to have been able to compose this a little tighter, but fortunately there was a pretty nice background!

One of my favorite places to stay in Denali, and one I recommend, is the Teklanika (“Tek”) Campground. The reasons; the Tek campground saves you 60 miles on the bus each day, staying there allows you to drive a portion of the road few others are allowed to drive, and it puts you in a great place to see wolves and bears right from camp. In addition, Tek gets some of the best evening light in the entire park. And finally, you are able to buy a Tek Pass, giving you unlimited access to the buses for the length of your stay.
Unfortunately this year the Tek campground is closed until July because of aufeis – overflow river ice from the Teklanika River.
I was a bit disappointed, and skeptical the campground really needed to be closed, so one day I walked in a took a look. Well this photo from June 9th pretty much sums the situation up – river ice in this particular site had to still be three thick feet! Needless to say, the closure is more then justified.
