Juneau Alaska

Yikes, I note with mild surprise that it has been eleven weeks since my last posting. Anyone miss me?

I can attribute the last five weeks of inactivity to our summer sojourn to Oregon (OSU College Reunion, visit the parental units and catch the Total Eclipse), Washington (visit good friend from grade school), Alaska (cruise ship adventure with partners in crime) and the Canadian Gulf Islands (sailing and swinging on the hook with longtime friends). Throughout all this I took 359 images, most of which were “snap shots” not really suited for publication. However, there are a few that are worth mentioning – especially the cruise ship tour of Endicott Arm Fjord of the Inside Passage and Dawes Glacier.

I plan to follow up with several more images of the trip through Endicott Arm ending with Dawes Glacier. Also, just for fun, I’ll toss in a few shots taken in Skagway and maybe a few from the Gulf Islands.

This photo was taken from our state room on the 12th floor of the good ship Explorer of the Seas while moored in Juneau the evening before we entered Endicott Arm. I would have loved to have been able to zoom in on the eagle, but I like how he seems to be surveying his stunning domain in the background.

    It’s kind of Black & White – with a Blueish cast from the mountains and the sky and the landscape- and a beautiful corner of Green coming out of the bottom left, near the bald eagle…

    Don’t know how you got everything to pose so perfectly, but it is really breathtaking!

    The segmentation is also very pleasing (angle right three times, then angle left).

    I have to agree both stunning and breathtaking. The eagle was the icing on the cake….didn’t see him at first since overwhelmed by the beauty of the mountains. Nice Job! Great spending time with you and Deb in the Gulf Islands!

    I saw this in person as you pointed it out, but for some reason, The whole scene appears more beautiful in this picture. The backdrop of the mountains with the water could not have been any better than what you captured.
