WELCOME

Glad to have you visit Mountain Meadows Photographs. I hope you enjoy my view of nature. I am not one for a lot of words, so it is mostly photographs.

Unless noted all of the photographs are my original work.

North to Alaska - Day Six - Skagway

On day six we went to Skagway, Alaska. We had a helicopter tour scheduled, but the weather was so bad it was canceled after about a five minute ride. The whole family went on the White Pass train. Here are some of the shots taken on that ride.

North to Alaska - Day Five - Juneau

On day five we stopped in Juneau. While in Juneau we went on a Whale Watching Excursion. The one thing I did not like about the cruise was how short we spent at each port. Here are some of the shots taken in the Juneau area.

These shot were taken from the ship just before we docked.

Some of the scenery we saw on the tour. It was such a cloudy and gray day I decided the galcier shots looked best in black and white. There was not much color anyway. We were told the name of the flaciers, but I did not retain that information.
