Vancouver Photos

Typically we process all the photos from a trip in one big group, but this time we decided to do our Canadian photos in one batch, and then the rest of the trip in a second batch.  Because of this, we now have a new section on our website of Vancouver photos.

Alaska Railroad

This is the same night (Wednesday) as yesterday’s post, but a different train.  It is a bit unusual to see two trains in Seward during the winter.

As an interesting side note, the Alaska Railroad train in yesterday’s post was caught in an avalanche which knocked a few of the cars of the track.  Fortunately no one was hurt, the cargo was non hazardous.

A heavy snowstorm hit this area last night.  I thought it might be great conditions to photograph eagles, but didn’t have any success.  The Alaska Railroad had a couple of trains leaving town, so I decided they would be a good substitute subject.

Eagle Landing

I found a couple of eagles feeding on some kind of carcass someone had dragged into the nearby trees; it was too far consumed to be recognized.  I didn’t expect this one to land so close, I was barely able to keep it’s wings in the frame.  Check out more bald eagle photos.

Little Bull Moose

This guy was hanging right in town.  It isn’t evident in this wide-angle photo, but you could still see where his antlers had been attached to his head.

We have lots more moose photos

This was captured just a short time ago.  It was a beautiful evening in Seward, fresh snow, nice temps and no wind.  I liked the combination of warm sunset light with the cool blue light in the shadows.

How I Became a Bold and Beautiful Star!

 Well I’m sure that title got your attention, and my friends are probably laughing and rolling their eyes – I better quickly explain.

Evidently, CBS has a daytime TV show entitled The Bold and Beautiful.  It was explained to us that one of the characters on the show is this guy who does a lot of adventure travel.  Well, CBS contacted us last week and purchased 7 prints of adventure activities to decorate the set that will make up this characters office.  These pictures will appear to be personal photos of the character during his travels and adventures.  The photo of me above is one of the seven.  So star is a big exaggeration – but someday, somewhere, a photo of me just might be visible on the Bold and Beautiful.  lol
