Day 212: Back to the Cruise! Ketchikan, part 1

Wednesday, August 20, 2014

Guess yet?   Our day in Ketchikan wasn’t completely rainy.  We had this much Sun, anyway! Some of the waterfront from the Lido Deck Buffet where we ate breakfast. An uncropped two photo panorama of the waterfront (mainly tourist traps, but fun!) where we docked and the gangway being installed, from the Promenade Deck.  (Click […]

Day 211: A Brief Break…

Sunday, August 17, 2014

A brief break from our cruise.  I went out last night (16 Aug 14) to watch the Moonrise of the third quarter Moon.  My usual spot near Fife was full of farm trucks (Hmmmf.  Harvest.  Go figure. {!-{P ) so I went a little father down the road and set up on the edge of […]

Day 210: At Sea

Thursday, August 14, 2014

What the heck is with the rugs?  I’ll tell you later.  It took me a couple of days.  There is potential for great mischief… We awoke on our first day at sea to fog. And live flowers at breakfast! This is a view of the pool on the Lido Deck.  It is looking back the […]

Day 209: First Night

Wednesday, August 13, 2014

I find that late nights on Cruise Ships are great times to go up on deck. No one is there and there are some pretty neat photos waiting to be taken!  The light brown squares in the foreground are glass panels in a giant movable cover that closes over the Lido Deck pool during inclement […]

Day 207: Almost started…

Wednesday, August 13, 2014

The floor of every elevator… After a bit we were even able to go to our stateroom.  It was small, but efficient. Then it was on to the lifeboat drill!  This was the one mandatory event on the ship: if you didn’t go to it they wouldn’t take you on the cruise! Then, since it […]

Day 206: Goin’ Cruisin’!

Wednesday, August 13, 2014

Well, we’re back from a fun filled two week cruise to Alaska!  It was a pretty good time, and as you will see, there were some incredible opportunities for photography!  But first we have to get on the boat… Anyone who frequents the I90 route to Seattle and Tacoma will recognize the Columbia River Gorge […]
