On the Ferry…
The M/V Columbia.
Wonderful visit to the Alaskan Brewing Company!
The view from Mt. Roberts (Juneau below).
Bald eagles at Auk Bay.
Handsome, Eagle.
One of the many harbors, plus the mountain reflection. Makes me happy.
Whale Tail: Step 1
Whale Tail: Step 2
Whale Tail: Step 3
Beach walk on our drive “out the road.”
Mendenhall Glacier. Love. Love. Love.
View of the Mendenhall from the west glacier trail.
Lake feed by the glacier, near our campground. Great views in our own backyard.
Steaming to Sitka!
Great photos! Thanks.
Yes…these are sweet!
You look so happy and “FRESH”
Loving your post and photos – eagle, whale, & beer from Alaskan – Oh My!!!
Love the eagle pictures
Wow! What a beautiful collection of photos! Thank you for sharing these with us. It was like a big breath of fresh air looking at these today from this stuffy London office!
Thanks so much!
Gorgeous pix! I’ve always wanted to do an Alaskan cruise — can’t imagine a more scenic and serene setting…
You say Love,love,love-so right. Living life as its supposed to be lived. Loving it because you’re engaged in it, with it.
Really great photos! I’m dying to visit Alaska. And congrats on being featured!
We follow you on Twitter and decided to check out your blog.. great decision! Lovely photos!
Congrats on being FP – YAY!!!

Thank you for sharing ^^
It looks cold in the pictures
I loe your idea of living, compare out mountains! I posted from Amalfi Coast this weekend! I too moved into an unusual way of living, it really is hard to explain to people a different lifestyle . Continue to enjoy the moments! Cheryl
Beautiful! Looks sooo cold though =P
Hope you kept warm!
Beautiful photos! I was there years ago and that boat ride up the Lynn Canal was the most spectacular I’ve ever seen!
Alaska is magnificent.
Those are some amazing shots you have there! (:
I’ve been thinking about going to Alaska for a long time. It looks incredible!
Wow that looks breathe taking! How lucky you two are!

Great photos, and congrats on being freshly pressed.
These series of images are wonderful, and the timing could not be better. I plan to visit Juneau next week from Seattle! I see the recommendation for bundling up are quite valid. Thank you for sharing these photographs. It makes me more excited for my first visit to Alaska!
Dress in layers and enjoy your trip!
Lovely photos! The ones of the eagle & the whale are amazing!
Love the pics – thanks for sharing!

I’ve been there and loved it too! Your photos are magic, especially the whale tale.
Wow! It looks beautiful! I especially love the eagle shots! Awesome!
I love the beer, though I haven’t drink an Alaskan beer, yet
Great tour, btw.
Wow, so very jealous. My wife and I drove to Alaska for our honeymoon (and took the ferry down to Prince Rupert). SE Alaska, especially Sitka, was our favorite area of the state.
every beautiful thing you could have captured on film, you caught, I think in sports that called a triple double
Great photos and thank you for sharing
My Boyfriend and I have been talking about vacationing in Alaska this Fall and I do believe your photos just convinced us!!! SO awesome.
Fall in Alaska is my favorite time of year. So pretty, no bugs, and you will have most places to yourself. I hope you get to visit!
It has been a while since I have looked in on “Freshly Pressed.” Right out of the box, I discover your blog. The work is beautiful and demonstrates a great deal of thought in writing, pictures and its sharing. I am now a follower!
Really nice photos. Glad I found your blog.
Wow! Awesome pictures…love the whale tail! Saw this on a visit to Canada. Look forward to seeing more of your journey.
Awesome photos! Our fishing trip to Alaska was great. We didn’t see any bald eagles or whale tails though.
I loved your photos. My visit to Juneau was last week and I’m posting photos soon. Yours made me want to get them posted even sooner! We didn’t make it to Sitka, but had a great time in Ketchikan and Skagway. The White Pass Railway was a spectacular view of the area between the Yukon and Skagway…those pictures are coming soon, too. Thanks so much for the inspiration…and I’ll be back to see more of your photos.
Wonderful pictures! We took a journey on the Alaska Marine Highway a few years ago, and I think it was one of the best trips ever! I regret we missed Ketchikan. Have fun! We look forward to more pictures.
Awesom Eagle photo.
Takes me back to my ’82 trip – loved the ferry ride in and out of Juneau. Thanks!
All images are beautiful and good.
Those pictures of a whale’s tail are amazing, haven’t seen one in real life. Great trip, by the way.

What very nice place. I hope we can preserve it to share with new generations.
The -bald eagles at auk bay- the bird looks suspended, good shot.
My, my, Juneau is charming! Amazing how these beautiful pictures did the story-telling. Great post!
Thanks for the preview. We are going in August and I can’t wait. I love your eagle and whale pics. Juneau is really packed up against the base of that mountain, isn’t it. Well done on FP.
Enjoy your trip in August. Alaska is such a special place!
Thank you. 500 pics, I better let you get back to work.

I just got back from a mini-vacation and found my inbox full! Thanks to everyone for checking out my blog and all the wonderful comments. All the support made my day! More posts coming soon.
Very cool (no pun intended!)
I grew up in Alaska (Anchorage & Wasilla, to be exact). I miss it a lot. Well, except for the clouds and mosquitoes.
Great beer pic, BTW. Looks like Alaskan Oatmeal Stout, if memory serves me correct…
Good memory! One of my favorites.
beautiful pictures)) and thanks for stopping by))
This is gorgeous. I visited Juneau a couple years ago and have been dying to return ever since. Thanks for the pictures!
Very jealous.
Reblogged this on 8BIT.
Great photos!
Congrats on being FP’d. Great blog. Beautiful pics. Thanks for sharing
Loved seeing your pics! Reminded me so much of my own trip to AK… need to go back!
lovely pics. Nature always inspired me
Your pictures caught my eye as I logged into WordPress this morning. I live in Sitka which is your next stop I take it! Have a good time. Don’t miss the Herring Cove Beaver Lake Trails, Totem Park, Old Harbor Books, The Backdoor, and the St. Michael’s Russian Orthodox Church. My great grandfather was the priest of that church at the turn of the century.
Thanks for checking out my blog! We liked Sitka very much (I posted a new blog about it yesterday), and saw most of the things on your list of recommendations. How amazing that your grandfather was a priest at that church. Very cool.
If you get up around Talkeetna, you are welcome to camp on our property. Its about a mile from the road and we are building a cabin on the weekends. Awesome journey you are making.
This is so beautiful
Fantantic photos, Alaska looks amazing,its on my list of must see places.
Love from Scotland

Wow. I just read through your adventure and it sounds spectacular. I have not thought about backpacking it before. I keep finding myself looking at cruises but the camper in me keeps saying that these are more about the ship than the actual exploration experience.
We really loved taking the ferry and camping. It is a rainy place, so you want to be okay with camping in the rain, but it was a great, less expensive, way to see the southeast. We also rented a car, so that helped keep some things dry
nice
