Some Alaska Floaters & friends

Post by zigzag »

A few shots of floaters at Ketchican, Alaska in late August. I was travelling on the Alaska Marine Highway through the Inside Passage up to Juneau, we docked in Ketchican one morning for a couple of hours and was able to shoot these from the deck, the dock was opposite Ketchican airport and have included a couple of Alaska 737s - see if you can spot the Bald Eagle in one shot.

Thanks for posting.A lovely departure from the norm.
If a man speaks when he is alone in a forest and there are no women around to hear him, is he still wrong?

I was going to say no as thats not the shot where my original eagle resides, but on closer inspection then there does look to be an eagle on #5, well done sir you have eagle eyes.
