Day 221: Up Tracy Arm! Part 1

Thursday, August 28, 2014

The next day of the cruise we headed up Tracy Arm, a 20 some mile long fjord up to Sawyer Glacier! “What do you mean, inside down?  It was the right way in the camera…” It was a foggy morning.  Apparently we missed a bunch of whales by not being up at 4:30am…althought the Dailylife […]

Here is our first glimpse of Mendenhall Glacier. The Dailylife Wife walks down to the shore.

Day 217: Juneau, part 2

Sunday, August 24, 2014

Next we went to the Glacier Botanical Gardens.  This was a landslide a guy named Steve recreated into a Botanical Garden to reclaim the area and prevent another slide! Besides being very lush and colorful (and wet…), Steve had another great idea!  He takes trees, with roots still attached, and plants them in the ground […]

Yup.  They change the day on the elevator rug to let people have some idea of when it is…if they want to mess with you they just have to  “reorder” the week a little! A two photo panorama from the top deck of our damp morning.  This is also a nice view of the moveable […]

You might have notice that in some of the panoramas the buildings tilt to the side some on some of the end photos.  That is an artifact of the panorama process that Adobe Elements uses.   ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>
