On the grounds of Pioneer Park, Fairbanks, are several historic buildings. They were moved there from their original sites. This is a large log building (not really a cabin....) Image processed with GIMP

During our wandering around downtown Fairbanks, Alaska, I came upon this sign, fence, and rails. We have ridden on the Alaska Railroad, quite an experience. I hadn't given much thought about the beginning and end of this rail line. Image processed with GIMP.

This was actually a "lens test" I did while wandering around our campground at Denali National Park, Alaska. I was testing the macro capability of the Sigma lens I was using on the Nikon D700 camera. In this case, I closed down to F16, and got more good flower detail. But even with some detail, there is a bit of nice bokeh here. Image processed with GIMP.

This Mercedes (fire)truck was parked in downtown Talkeetna, Alaska. Just had to get a photo of it. I think that it has been restored as a vehicle for one of the local bars. (There seem to be a lot of bars in Talkeetna...) Image processed with GIMP.

SIgn posted at entrance to a bar in Talkeetna, Alaska. I like those rules! Image processed with GIMP. This quote may not be in the great literature, but it is a quote for Sunday Challenge. Below is a suggestion that this be added to the "Italo-Byzantine Acuity" group, so they will have some rules (of some sort). www.ipernity.com/group/827071/doc

Scan of a map printed in 1898. Note the areas marked with red, they are the gold fields of the 1898 rush. I have had the pleasure of cruising these passages on the Alaska State Ferry (and a few cruise ships, too). Just some of the maps I have online (for Sunday Challenge too!) PiP for another detail of the Inside Passage area.
