Orca, from the balcony of my suite on the ship. There were at least three of them.

The old part of Ketchikan. I bought a beautiful totemic print from a Tlingit master carver and painter.

This is only one of the many bald eagle shots I got. They are majestic birds.

Just how cold was the water? Ive saw a few Orca in my time.
Great photos!
I have heard this is some of the most beautiful country one can see.
Your photos show that, my only problem would be the climate.
I've seen a lot of whales off the Oregon coast. I love watching them! :)
Very nice photos..
about as far as i've done is swim with dolphins, which was great - but i've heard those alaskan cruises are great. maybe one day.....
Very cool! ; )
How beautiful! The old part of Ketchikan reminds me a bit of Kennebunkport, Maine.
Let's Talk, there was a lot of ice in the fiords still - iceburgs the size of small garages, burgie-bits the size of small cars, smaller pieces too. The water was cold enough that the snorkel expedition used dry-suits.
Larry, the Inside Passage, and Coastal Alaska, is really similar to Seattle in weather. But the interior is cold - lot of snow in winter. Lovely in summer.
Suzie-q, we saw Orcas and Grey Whales, but no Humpbacks. They are amazing!
Weezielou, I've not swum with dolphins. It's next on my list.
Coffee, thank you.
Tree, whaling ports have a similarity, I think.
Wow, what great pictures. I love the village one and of course the orcas are amazing.
It looks so beautiful up there, too bad it's so cold, and there's all that darkness in winter.
