Day 362

Day 349: A Polar Express Addendum

Saturday, December 17, 2011

One section of the Polar Express route is over a very high trestle.  With the Full Moon the shadow of the trestle, with the Polar Express on top, was very visible.  It really needed more than Dailylife Wife’s old Canon Powershot SX100IS to capture it, though.  Next time! These photos are heavily processed. They are […]

Saturday night the Dailylife Wife and I took the two grandcritters, Toots and Lugnut, to ride the Polar Express, named for the train in the film, of course. It is a presentation of the Charlie Russell Chew Choo, which is normally a summertime tourist/dinner train out of Lewistown, /\/\ontana!  But for a few short days […]
