Vacation in Eagle River, AK

[Scott_Quier]

I'm still on my vacation visiting my brother and his family in Eagle River, AK. The following are just a few of the photos that I have had time to process and upload.

Looking east along Turnagain Arm from the Bird Point turnout.

Glacier formations on the approach to Whittier

This is a glacier calf. What you see is not an optical illusion - there really is a hole through the ice.

I'll post more as they get processed. We are taking a river boat tour tomorrow and hope to have some really interesting shots from that experience.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy these - thanks for looking.

I'm glad you're taking pleasure in my jealousy!:rofl

I know how you feel...always watching everyone else travel to awesome places. I'm excited if I can make it to the desert for a day!:rofl

Thanks for the memories! I was up that way several years ago and
really enjoyed my trip. Beautiful shots!

Folks, if you've never been to AK, you should plan an excursion. It's well
worth it.

Thanks for sharing Scott!

The rest of them are found

here (http://scottquier.smugmug.com/Vacation/209540)

and I will be adding more as I have time to process and upload them (I'm on a fairly thin upload wire here). We will be going out on a river boat cruise (does that sound kinda like an oxymoron to you also?) and I should return with some more.

Thanks for looking.

And, like ian408 said, if you have the chance to visit this beautiful area you should grab it!

Great series, Scott. :thumb It's horribly hot in Madrid now--normal for summer--and those pics make me jealous. Want to trade places for a couple of weeks? :D

Cheers,

Wonderful shots, Scott. We visited that very area in our Alaska trip in 2006. Definately makes me want to go back. Thank you for sharing!
