TRIP TO GIRDWOOD

I should have posted these pictures weeks ago. Several Saturdays ago, we took a quick drive down the Old Seward Highway on the Turnagain Inlet. It was a bit cloudy and windy, but otherwise, it was good traveling weather.

The first thing we ran into was a Russian Orthodox Church that was quite attractive, so I had to stop and take a couple of pictures

I have no idea who Saint Tikhon was but he must have

been a Russian. At least, the writing underneath his name

appears to be Russian.

Die Kirche --

A what? -- Gazebo?

FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD

The next thing we encountered was a state park with

a snow removal apparatus on the front of a train engine.

This shot doesn't exactly give you an idea of the size of the 

snow eater.

Neither does this shot.

But, this shot does help. Sister Campbell is 5' 7".

And, I'm 6' 4".

Looking down the "Beast."

The snow blower from the side.

Interesting sign to read.

Another sign.

Don't worry. Not everybody reading a sign is wicked.

Another view.

MORE OF THE SIGHTS DOWN THE ROAD

Mountains and snow on the other side of Turnagain

Inlet.

Wind swept hair

The byway is duly noted as being officially beautiful.

Pretty, eh? If you enlarge this picture, you might
see a waterfall.

Love those low hanging clouds.

Reminds me of Austria.

Pretty...

Elder Campbell spoiling the view.
 But, proof that I was there.

Looking for Beluga whales.

A "cutesy" little poem.

Peek a boo!

Yah --

sigh

More greenery.
