Remarks & Notes 
The Glacier Discovery works north after passing the Girdwood Passenger station. Moments earlier a rainbow filled the Girdwood Valley but now dark storm clouds are shrouding the Chugach Mountains as the train finds a bit of sun to cast it's reflection in the saline ponds that have pickled the stand of dead trees seend behind the train. These trees are a legacy from the terrible 1964 earthquake that dropped the land here several feet all those decades ago.

Good Light, Good Scenery, and a Train

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.

For the train and storm chaser. Trains with thunderstorms, dark clouds, rain, lightning, hurricanes - tropical storms, funnel clouds, storm light, rainbows, and snow storms.
