That Was Fun, Now Back to Work!


I’m sorry I haven’t posted here for a while, but you’ll understand when you see a few pictures from our cruise to Alaska:

We left from Seattle, a city known for rain and clouds, but it turned out to be the warmest and sunniest day of our trip.

johnshopkinsglacier1Johns Hopkins Glacier in Glacier Bay.  The ship stayed here for a while as we waited for the fog to clear.  The captain even turned the boat around so people on both sides could see the glacier without leaving their rooms!

margerieglacier1A huge chunk of Margerie Glacier falls into the bay.  I captured a short sequence of this and another calving, but haven’t studied them yet.

It was a great trip (the food was even better than the glaciers!), but there are a lot of orders to catch up on now, so my next post might be delayed as well!

 


About Greg Marshall

I am a retired electronics engineer and after a few months of enjoying my leisure I began to miss doing product development. My astronomy hobby always needed new solutions to unique problems, so I decided that whenever I came up with a good solution I would try to make it available to others.
