Day 179: boats and floats, Part 1

Friday, July 3, 2009

This place is just full of things that float and fly…I have a collection of them here and in the next part of this post.  I will dispense with the photo info on them.  If anyone needs to know the exif data it is either findable on the image, or write to me.  Don’t forget: […]

Day 178: Early Morning Ketchikan…

Friday, July 3, 2009

It turns out we weren’t the only ones arriving early in Ketchikan, just the first! (Nikon Coolpix L11 on Automatic) Here is a closer view of the Zaandam: (1/1600, f8, 30mm, ISO 400) Of course, being a smaller ship, it has palm trees, island grass and a mountain with waterfall… (1/1600, f8, 135mm, ISO 400) […]

Day 177: Early in the morning…

Wednesday, July 1, 2009

I woke early on our day to reach Ketchikan.  Not from excitement.  From the light coming in our balcony door.  It was just past the full moon, and at 3:37am Alaska Time I couldn’t sleep… These were taken in the channel leading north to Ketchikan over a period of about an hour, from 3:37am to […]

Day 176: Back to Ketchikan

Monday, June 29, 2009

I gave Ketchikan a bit of a miss in these posts, so I am returning there for a few moments.  This is very early on the morning of the 10th of June, 2009, steaming towards Ketchikan.  I was on deck with my trusty little Nikon Coolpix L11.  It was cold, clear and deserted.  Just the […]

Day 175: Back in Juneau, Part 2

Monday, June 29, 2009

We entered this slightly upscale souvenir shop with a jewelry counter (they all seemed to have them…apparently jewelry makes a great souvenir, and I am not talking about moose shaped charm bracelets either!  Although I am sure they could be found too…I am waiting for our credit card bill to arrive…).  The guy behind the […]

A quick selection of snapshots from Juneau after we returned from our Whaling Expedition!

Day 173, Back to the Whales!

Sunday, June 28, 2009

Another scenic panorama on the way to another Whale spotting.  I play with most of these photos in Paint Shop Pro, so they look more like what you see; the eye and a camera see differently. (1/6400, f5, 17mm, ISO 250, four photos stitched together in MS ICE) One of the many glacier surrounding Juneau. […]
