An Alaskan adventure

This is the town of Seward in Alaska and as usual has towering snow clad mountains all around it! It was cold here - 9degC so good to snuggle in my feather winter coat! We will be in Alaska on the coast in this ship until we just about reach Vancouver. Looking forward to seeing lots of great scenery and have seen orcas off the side of the ship which was exciting, but no whales as yet!
Great shot - looking forward to more images from your travels.

Wonderful scene! I wonder if it ever gets warm there -- or if 9 C is warm to them!

Very still and cloudy, and I'm sure oh so pretty. Did you get to see the snow capped mountains or were they hidden by the clouds?

Would like to be joining you. Loved Ketchikan and Sitka. Great photo.

Looks lovely! I'd like to do an Alaskan cruise some day. Orcas are killer whales. Did you see porpoises??

This is really lovely - have fun.

We've always wanted to visit Alaska, but it may never happen. So we watch a program called "Deadliest Catch" instead. It's all about a group of crab fishermen who fish in the area you are now sailing in.

@kiwichick They were all cloud covered here Lesley but in other areas very visible! So high!

@olivetreeann We were told about this, Ann - and the reputation of the Bering Sea was for terrible storms and shipwrecks! Glad to say we were not one!

@kwind No porpoises - yet! Would love to see a walrus too but I think that is not on the cards!

@maggiemae And I'm sure you won't be- bad for business! But I think the worst time of year for them is from November through February.

Fabulous capture.

You are certainly getting about! Such a contrast to when you started out all those weeks ago in the Far East! It looks a very boat friendly place!

A beautiful picture of all the boats and the mist covered forested mountains.

This is a gorgeous shot, Maggiemae. Looks so cold. Glad you are prepared for it. Sounds like a nice coat to keep you warm.
