Snapshots - ARR

Downtown Seward

Well, these snapshot web has a lot to do with Alaska Railroad and Seward, since we visited there in 2006, I attempt to make the same photograph in the same location. I was photobombed while Pokie was taking my picture at the old Seward Station.

Seward, Alaska

Seward Harbor

The Classic Coastal dropped us off at around 11:00 AM, we are on our own until 5:00 PM to board back to Anchorage, we have six hours to kill. Seward is not so big of a town, the last time we were here, we spend two nights at the city campground in 2006. The harbor is beautiful, we have lunch of fish chowder.

The Little White Church

The Little White Church 

This little church has a history way back to 1904 and it was moved to its present location when there was no bridge. Using the advantage of its brutal winter - frozen river, the church is where it is now.

Alaska Railroad Highlights

Alaska Railroad at Seward Station

We made a quick trip to Alaska to ride the train, we are now have completed three trips to the last frontier, during the summer solstice the sun almost does not set, this trip we never experience darkness. It's a beautiful time to visit Alaska during this time, the train ride is marvelous and very enjoyable.
