Photo Hunter: Nautical
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 PhotoHunt. Happy hunting & have a great weekend, everyone!
Those are wonderful shots. Looks like a fun trip.
Happy weekend.
It actually looked quite scary there with all the loose ice floating about. I’m still visualizing the scene from Titanic..
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!
These are beautiful photos
I’ve taken an alaskan cruise in 2007 and we truly enjoyed it.
Love the pics.
Those are fabulous photos!
Must have been an interesting tour.
Happy Valentine´s Day!
A wonderful journey and some great photographs
What a stunning backdrop! Happy weekend
what an experience it must be to be drifting among glaciers and in the cold! I hear the trip’s expensive.
This could look a bit like my country. Great photos.
Happy Valentine!
Eek re all that floating ice. Hope you didn’t start thinking of the Titanic when you heard all that banging!
Phew! It must have been really nerve-wracking…what an experience. I love that glaciers.

How beautiful! Alaska is the next cruise I’m going to do. Your pictures just confirmed it for me!
Hi. Great pictures. Countryview and sea at the same time. I bet you had a very good time on that cruise.
Thanks for visiting my blog.
Good weekend.
That must have been amazing!
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.
wow! beautiful shots
what a wonderful trip huh!
What fantastic photos you took. I’ve always wanted to take an Alaskan cruise.
Here is mine:
JyLnC’s photohunt.
Beautiful shots of the cruise ship and the ice… I think the ice would make me nervous…. Thanks for coming to see me…
Your pics are breathtaking! Happy photo hunting
I’ve done that cruise four times and it never gets boring.
Happy weekend.
Love your nautical pic!
Kathy
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.
Your pictures are wonderful! I lived in Alaska for a few years and it sure is beautiful country up there!
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!
