Photo Hunter: Nautical

by CJ on 13 February, 2009

Last summer we went on a cruise to Alaska. Besides stopping at Juneau, Ketchikan and Sitka, the cruise also included a cruise around the Hubbard Glacier. The Glacier was just so awesome. While we were enjoying the beautiful scenery, we saw another cruise ship which had just finished cruising around the Glacier. The cruise ship looked so small in front of the huge glacier.

A closer look of the cruise ship as it got closer to the ship that we were on. Check out all the ice floating on the water.  It was actually a little nerve-wracking sailing through the ice because we keep hearing all kinds of banging sounds as the ice hits the ship!! : )

Thanks for visiting my . Happy hunting & have a great weekend, everyone!

It actually looked quite scary there with all the loose ice floating about. I’m still visualizing the scene from Titanic.. :P

Happy Valentine’s Day!

That first shot is quite breathtaking! I will get to Alaska someday. And Titanic definitely comes to mind with the ice.

How lucky! Two of my good friends went on the Alaska cruise and I saw the photos they took. They had fun.
Happy Valentine’s Day!

Love the pics.

what an experience it must be to be drifting among glaciers and in the cold! I hear the trip’s expensive.

Happy Valentine!

Eek re all that floating ice. Hope you didn’t start thinking of the Titanic when you heard all that banging!

Thanks for visiting my blog.
Good weekend.

Absolutly fabulous sceneries.
I have never ever seen something like this (except in the fjords of Norway)
Excellent captures

That’s beautiful. We were just watching a movie set in Alaska last night and the thing that struck us most was that wild, unspoiled scenery.

annant February 14, 2009 at 7:47 pm

Happy weekend.

Love your nautical pic!

Marites February 15, 2009 at 6:19 pm

now, that will get me paranoid hearing all the bangs on the ship. Nevertheless, the view is just breathtaking especially the one on the first pic.

sammawow February 15, 2009 at 6:59 pm

Your pictures are wonderful! I lived in Alaska for a few years and it sure is beautiful country up there!

Jenn February 15, 2009 at 9:05 pm

That’s one thing I’d been dreaming of doing. Even read up on it last year hoping to find a chance. Well… I’m still dreaming but I’m sure you had FUN!
