    Beautiful pictures Charlyee, My fiance has been after me to take an Alaskan Cruise, and after seeing these pictures, I'm thinking I might need to reconsider my stance...

    OK - so they stop the car traffic when a train is coming through the tunnel? (LOL!! almost stated it backwards)

    The tsunami warning device looks suspiciously like a tornado siren....and those capers look wonderful!!! :p

    Seriously - fantastic photos - thank you for sharing them. :)

    The shot of Mt. McKinley is magnificent - you were so fortunate. :) And no matter how many times I see it, I'm always astounded by the incredible hue of the icebergs!!

    Wow, nice pics. I read somewhere that you should wait till you're old to visit Alaska, because after you visit there, everything else will pale in comparison.
    ...how old did you say you were Charlyee? ;)

    She didn't. I even peeked into her registration information and she left the year blank... she must have grown up in the south because you know "Southern ladies don't tell".

    Thanks Ash, you will love it. We rented a car at Anchorage and did our own sight seeing for two weeks. We also took 4 cruises with varying duration from 1-12 hours.
    Thanks hme83, The tunnel is one lane and has a printed scherdule of when which side is released, there are 15 mins slots for each side and the train also follows this schedule. Yes the blue was fantastic:). Here is a picture of a fellow passenger holding up a piece of the iceberg.
    Thanks Joe, it was. :D
    Nice try RR:p. Hey I posted plenty of pictures of myself, you decide if I am "old enough" to qualify for going to Alaska. ;)
    Yep, I did - Calcutta, India to be precise. :D

    budney, Joe, Gamer, dmapr, Bill Clinton, Blue, thank you, I had a terrific time and the scenary and wildlife was unbelievable. I was with 3 serious photographers and took the least number pictures with my little camera. I liked it this way since I got to enjoy everything much more than the right exposure, lighting, distance etc and seeing Alaska through the lens of the camera 85% of the time. :)

    Here is one of my favorite pictures, it is just a cloud formation but to me looks just like a volcano spewing smoke.

    Mike, KyleandMelissa22, Steven, Thank you very much, I am glad you liked the pictures. The scenary is definitely breathtaking. :)
    Tony, thank you. LOL, that was an appetizer but I had it as dinner. Typically the appetizer portion were so large all over Alaska, that I did that a lot. :)

    Alienware, thank you. It wasn't that cold, in the low to mid 50s at night and in the low to mid 60s during the day. The problem was it is rather damp and not the nice, crisp, dry 50 we are used to here, so I was usually cold all morning and all evening. On the other hand, sunset was not untill around 10:00 pm :). It was definitely a trip worth taking and given the opportunity I will go back again.
    Thank you. yes & yes. :D

    I'm jealous you saw McKinley. It was cloudy and rainy both times I went "past" it and so I never got to see it.

    I live right. :p:D.

    Seriously, that is the norm that it is cloudy and rainy and people do not see McKinley. We were told we were in the 2% probability.

    We took the Wilderness trip deep inside Denali, 95 miles to the end of the park road and the historic mining district of Kantishna. We saw McKinley at various points and came to within 30 miles of it. It was always sunny and was absolutely gorgeous. We saw many wildligfe that day also.

    I like the pics Ms. Charlyee! The blue ice is cool (what causes that?)

    However...I don't think I would care for that "dinner" :biggrin: :O

    The blue ice is very dense ice. The weight of the snow that falls, as it is compacted down on itself and turns to ice, much of the air is squeezed out while the snow is turning to ice. As a result it absorbs all but blue light and that is why it appears blue.
