Alaskan Adventure; a Trip to Seward Alaska
Seward is as far south as you can go driving! It is where the cruise ships come in and then bus the people to Anchorage. It is a small town; beautiful. These are some sites in Seward and on the way to Seward. It was another beautiful Alaskan day!

This is a sundog! You probably want to know what a sundog is.....First it is rare but this I saw today out of my office window. I thought it was a rainbow. AMAZING!
"A sundog is a rainbow-like spot in a cirrus cloud. Light shining through ice crystals in the cloud makes a sundog. Cirrus clouds--those high fleecy white bands or patches in the sky--are mostly tiny particles of ice. Ice can take on many forms and shapes. The cloud ice, however, is shaped like hex bathroom tiles or stubby pencils each no bigger than the tiniest grains of sand. These ice crystals bend light like a prism, disperse its colors, and cause sundogs. "
