26 - America the Beautiful

012608 America Beautiful

I call this my America the Beautiful picture.  You cannot imagine how happy we were to finally be in Alaska.  After driving for six days, down steep grades, around curves, across bridges, through white-knuckle-clenching snow, over 3000 miles, we finally made it back to America, into Alaska, and into clear skies.  This picture was taken as sunset approached. 

Oh beautiful, for spacious skies,
  for amber waves of grain.
For purple mountains majesties,
  above the fruited plain.
America! America!
  God shed his grace on thee.
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.
