In 2008 I made three trips to Alaska. This shot was taken on the last day of my second trip. In the very last moments of sunshine the Glacier Discovery rolls through the Girdwood Valley. In just seconds the light would be lost as the sun dropped below the Chugach Mountains, it was a great way to end a trip.
Landscape photography is difficult due to the challenge of combining good light and good scenery. Good railroad photography enters another level of complexity since it requires the first two while there is a train in view.
