Some Alaskan Photos

I recently ordered something online, and I saw that it was coming from Bellingham, WA. As I found the location, it reminded me of my trip last year to that area. I started looking through my photos, and I think I found some interesting ones. I saw some of the kickass photos by the other members from Alaska, and I was reminded of what great photos you can get from that beautiful part of the world.

All were taken with my trusty Fujifilm F10 (P+S). All fully unedited.

Enjoy!

Pulling out of JFK... 4 hours late, all of which spent on the plane on the tarmac...

Is that Fat Albert? I only looked at this photo in detail about an hour ago...

Juneau, anyone? I don't think you can shoot with an SLR while riding a bike.

Delta SLC-JFK 737-800 Hopefully you'll be able to identify landmarks [It isn't helpful for photos at night when two toddlers are continuously kicking your seat.]

Very nice shots, Mark! Thanks for sharing. And yes, that looks to be Fat Albert in the third photo. And that's an E-3 AWACS to the right of it. Where was that shot taken?

That was on approach into KSEA. That's KBFI.

Thanks, I was trying to figure that out. The aircraft on the far right has gotten me thinking. At first I thought it was an MD-11/DC-10 type, given what I thought was a tail mounted engine, but the size was all wrong. After a little Googling, I think it looks to be a 737 Wedgetail AEW&C aircraft.

Wow, Fat Albert, E-3 and the Wedgetail in one shot. Damn you! haha

Good stuff. Look beautiful up there. Thanks for sharing!

Thats awesome dude! I'm doing almost the same itinerary as you in about a month. What cruise line did you take? Anything special to do in the ports of call? We are also doing the scuba diving :) Was it any good?

Hmm... We took NCL's Norwegian Star.

Our ports of call were:
Ketchikan- Snorkeling
Juneau- Biking / Mendenhall Glacier
Skagway- Helicopter Glacier Tour / White Pass and Yukon Route Railway
Prince Rupert- Wilderness Exploration or something (Aboard a DeHaviland Beaver flying into Canada's wilderness [Nothing like experiencing severe turbulence in a tiny plane! :D]) We saw grizzlies!

Out of them all, I'd say they were all fun, but if I had to rate, the Helicopter Tour would definitely be the best.

The snorkeling was fun as well; makes me wish I bought a waterproof cover for my camera.

I went with my family and relatives, and we split up into different activities a couple times. They said they enjoyed kayaking.

No matter where you go, you're probably going to find salmon swimming upstream at this time of year, which is an amazing sight.

I dug up a couple more pictures.

Mendenhall Glacier (from the biking in Juneau):

Great shots! From one Alaskan Traveler to another, spectacular shot of the Mighty Mendenhall. On approach to JNU it is a fantastic view.

Great thread and asst of photos. One of the best I've read.
