In September 2024, Carrie and I took a cruise to Alaska. We took over 650 pictures (certainly could have taken many more), and divided the 29 we dedicated to our Etsy Shop into 6 groups: Out to Sea, At Sea/Mendenhall Glacier, Skagway, Glacier Bay National Park, Ketchikan, and Return to Vancouver.

This is the fourth and largest group with ten pictures, Alaska – Untitled #137 through #146. During this leg of our actual voyage, we took a total of 317 pictures many of which were of the glacier at the terminus of the Johns Hopkins Inlet.

As we have stated before, the pictures tell the story better than words but we have added a few details simply to give some personal and geographical context. This summary will serve as our description of all ten pictures with the exception of #141, #142, #145, and #146 which give every brief added detail. You are invited to visit these pages as suits your curiosity.

At first glance it appears as though we may have been airborne as we took this picture but it is a zoom image, which our camera lens afforded us, of Alaska – Untitled #142.

This section, Skagway, is comprised of five images, Alaska – Untitled #132 through #136.

After leaving Juneau we sailed to Skagway, an unincorporated but populated area in one of the many inlets that make up Alaska’s jagged coastline.

Our excursion in Skagway was to take a bus from near where our cruise ship docked to a train that would take us to higher elevations in the mountains and into Canada near White Pass, and then take the bus down the mountain, making two photo op stops, back to Skagway to board the ship for the next part of our cruise.

This picture was taken during one of the two bus photo stops as we were returning to Skagway from the train ride up to White Pass along the Canadian border. It’s one of dozens of waterfalls we saw during our excursion that day and it was a pleasant relief to be able to take a picture without having to balance on that shaky rear platform on the train.

We were beyond delighted to find that our bus was assigned to the very last car on the train!! We had the freedom to step outside the car onto the back platform of the car from where I was free to take the pictures you see. It rained the entire time (except when it turned to snow in the higher elevations near the Canadian border) and a portion of the roof of the car extended over the rear platform affording protection to me and the camera from the elements. In essence, I took all of these pictures in this group from the back of a moving train, the scenery receding away from me except for the last one which will have its own unique story.

Once again, I will let the pictures speak for themselves.
