Now that the internet is working, I can start posting from Alaska.

In just one day, I’ve already seen a couple of seals, four giant cruise ships and even a glimpse of a whale.

Ketchikan’s airport is on a separate island from the city requiring a short ferry crossing.  While waiting for that ferry today, this small whale randomly popped up for a gulp of air.  Small is a relative term; it was still at least 20 feet.  I have no idea what species it was, but it was still really cool.  The whale didn’t make another appearance before the ferry started loading, so I didn’t get any pictures of it.

Instead, here’s your standard Alaska picture of eagles sitting around on something man made.

That’s our hotel underneath them.  It’s a decent spot; a four story building right next to the water.  I got myself a new camera before this project and already I’m getting better shots of more distant subjects like these two baldies.  Good purchase.
