Thread: Alaska

Wow - great images! Very beautiful, I'd love to go there.

And LOL @ Vader playing the violin!

im guessing the first one is a ruder of a boat going really fast. at least thats what it looks like.

the vader one i stared at for at least five seconds and i was like: " "

the rest of them are really really cool. i made the 4th one my background

Thanks for the compliments! I'm looking through the rest of my pictures to see if I have anymore of this quality. Oh and the first is actually when I was on a Floatplane in Juneau right before we landed in the harbour. Also, Burns you really should, it is just the most amazing place I have ever been. I cannot wait till I get to go back again.

I've also heard the Alaskan cruises are fantastic as well. Though I wouldn't care how I got there - it's such beautiful land up there - very pristine and untouched-looking. *sigh*

Wonderful pictures! Thanks for sharing them!

Wouldn't it be cool if I had my first LD tonight and the scenary would be your 4th picture?

Hahaha @ Vader playing the Violin.
That's good shit, man.

I think the one with the train is my favorite. I love the perspective of it going around the bend, and the way you can see all the other people leaning out to get the same shot.

Nice pics.

I actually did go on a cruise. It was great. On the actual ship everything was fanstastic. Service was Five Stars, the room was great though small like on most every cruise ship. Only complaint I have is that I did not get to see as much of Alaska as I would have liked. The cruise was a 7 day cruise from Vancouver. We cruised the first and second day, then 3rd we were in Yacutat bay to see Hubbard Glacier. 4th day We were in Skagway from maybe 8 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon. 5th day we cruised, 6th day we were in Juneau. The last day we went to Victoria B.C. we were originaly planned to go to Ketchikan but there ended up not being enough room since at each port there were at least 4 ships in at all times. Even in the small 2000 in the Summer and 500 in the off cruise season town of Skagway there were 4 ships. If I would take a cruise to Alaska again I would take a cruise tour before which is You fly up farther North into Alaska and take a trainride through Denali and other parts of Alaska and stop through a few towns. Then you get on a ship and cruise down and get of in California or Vancouver I believe. Anyway here are a few more pictures:

Oh my Gosh! I have to go there!

Those pictures are so incredibly beautiful.

An Alaskan cruise is actually something that has been on my wish list for a while, but seeing those pictures of yours made it bump up a little closer to the top of that list.

Oh, man, I'd have a great time there.

Thanks for sharing those pictures!!

(I'm going to have to go back and look at them some more....... )
