on the train ride from Denali to Anchorage one of the more interesting structures we saw (or glimpsed) was the Dr. Seuss House.  it has nothing to do with the real Dr. Seuss, but it definitely looks like something out of one of his books.

the owner of the home chose that particular piece of land to build so he could have the best view of Denali. all was well and good until the trees started growing taller than the house, blocking his view.

his solution was not to cut the trees, but simply to make the house taller. and taller. and taller.
