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 […]

Day 174: Back in Juneau, Part 1

Monday, June 29, 2009

A quick selection of snapshots from Juneau after we returned from our Whaling Expedition! The World Famous (or Infamous): And of course, the required swinging doors: Inside it was a good fast lunch operation.  This is in the loft. (Nikon Coolpix L11, three shots stitched together in MS ICE) Lots of people here…this is looking […]

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. […]

Day 167

Saturday, June 27, 2009

The Day in the Life of a Seal… (1/320, f5.6, 225mm, ISO 200, animated in JASC Animation shop) That is pretty much it for these guys.  They are the mateless males, all sunning themselves on these “haul out”rocks, wishing they at least got Monday Night Football so they could watch the beer ads… ~Curtis in […]

Day 166, off of Juneau’s Shore

Saturday, June 27, 2009

(All of these photos from Day 164 until at least a couple more are from around Juneau, mainly from the Whale Watching tour we took…about three hours long.  Thankfully they didn’t have any boats named “Minnow”!) A change of pace from Whales, a Tern of some sort, I think: (1/1600, f8, 110mm, ISO 200) It […]
