The frozen lake at Moose Pass. The bridge at the far end is for the railway from Seward to Anchorage (with a branch to Whittier).
The Moose Pass commercial centre - the Inn, Cafe and probably general store too!
No doubting that Moose Pass is a metropolis, with an inn and a hotel. The sign shows the facilities available - luxury in the wilderness. But in all seriousness, I imagine this is a delightful location in summer.
Another frozen lake. I can't find this lake on any map I have.
Only one eagle was still perched in a tree. A closeup shows more details.
The forest of dead trees.
An interesting view on Turnagain Arm, with the low cloud hugging the mountain. This is also the location where my Palm IIIx bit the dust after coming off my belt as I got out of the car to take this picture.
Sunset over Anchorage. This was taken from Kelly's room on the 12th floor of the Westmark Hotel. Her room faced north. Fortunately I happened to be looking out my window, and saw the shadow one building cast upon another, and guessed what was happening, so raced down to Kelly's room hoping for a good view! Wow.
Mount Susitna is a 4396 foot mountain visible from Anchorage. Native Indian legend tells a story of an Indian princess who lies down to sleep, waiting for the return of her brave from battle. In the legend, she turns to stone; ever since, the mountain has been known as "Sleeping Lady".
And so the first full day in Anchorage came to a close. Tomorrow looked like it might be a better day, and the forecast was promising. So perhaps we would be able to head north.
