Photos from our Alaska Cruise and Canada Vacation




The Orca's were abundant in Victoria, British Columbia during our whale watching tour. The Glacier shots were taken from our Alaska Cruise in Early July. Alaska is a phenomenal place with incredible landscape and wild life. We will be going back soon.

Great pictures. During our Alaskan cruise we did not see any orcas but did see a few humpback whales. I see that you were able to get really close to the glaciers.

I agree with you that Alaska is just so beautiful and really seems untouched by human contact, which may be why its still beautiful. We were in Alaska around the same time but for us the weather was very gloomy.

Benson,

Thanks. We saw a few humpbacks but they weren't very active, at least not when compared to Maui. Our friends that went whale watching during the cruise saw humpbacks from about twenty feet and orcas as well from a bit further away. Our cruise ship (Princess) got pretty close to some huge Glaciers. I got some Grizzly bear shots too but from quite a distance away (didn't have the right lens either) so they look ho-hum and not worth posting.

The Orca in the picture was shot in Victoria area during our whale watching tour on a small 20 foot boat.
