     As many others have, I've been meaning to visit
Alaska for years. Finally got there, three days in Juneau and seven days on a small cruising boat, and spent a lot of time behind the lens - exhilarating and frustrating, as you all know. If these samples pique your interest, I've posted a lot more on my web gallery at: http://tbell.smugmug.com/gallery/1530578.

    Hey you made it back. I'm not even going to ask if you had a good time. I have a pretty good idea on the answer. Looked at your aditional shots. Looks like you had some good weather days. You got some great shots.

    You've convinced me! I have to go on that trip! Great shots. Did it hurt having the camera removed from your eyebrow? www.frankplanes.com

    Great set of photos -- I also like Precarious Bend. Nature's amazing, but engineering amazes me too.

    Super set. I have been lucky enough to spend time in Alaske hiking. Clouds long view and Misty are my picks. I did enjoy opening each and everyone!

    Thank you all. Classy Shots - special thanks for suggesting that I get on either the front or rear of the train. And we had exceptionally good weather - only about 2 hours of rain and 2 days of persistent overcast in the whole ten days.

    You are very welcome! Really glad it worked out for you on the weather. It can be such a crap shoot up there. Will PM you with more questions when I'm back to two handed typing again. I had my shoulder surgery on the 30th and still working with my right arm in a sling.
