I have experienced some beautiful days here in Alaska. Whale watching on Resurrection Bay, my one summer day while in Denali, a splendid day biking in Anchorage. However, today beat them all. We made the 8 hour train trip from Anchorage to Denali and it couldn't have started any better, it was crystal clear and we could see the Mountain from Anchorage on. I have experienced that one other occasion but today was special since Autumn has descended on Alaska. Adding to the true blue sky, the snow white mountain, the fading purple of the Fireweed, we now see the yellow of the Birch & Aspen leaves, the beginnings of orange on the Willow bushes and the burgundy of the blueberry bushes. That is enough words, just enjoy the pictures.
