    heres some scens from alaska...

    hope you enjoy them, though the pictures dont do the beauty of this state any justice at all.

    these two, is where i spent most of my time, drinking at the bar on GM's mastercard account

    the vancouver sky line

    sunrise sunday morning 6-02-2002 (the sun rises anywhere from 3:30 am and sets as late as 10:30 pm depending on your location.)

    breakfast thats me and dad, i had to smudge him (sorry dad ]

    couldn't help but think about the cows and bulls watchtower when i saw this one

    the state capitol, juneau, dont blink, you might miss it! juneau has NO ROADS going in or out, its completely land locked.

    another view, with that mountain in the background

    me

    mendonhall glacier

    an orca (killer whale) in the water

    nice view

    another nice view

    skagway, ak.

    population, 800

    visitors, 6000

    a snow plow train, white pass/yukon route narrow gauge railway

    a glacier, this one is 2 miles wide, and i could not get it in one shot.

    the sign says it all

    me again

    wonder what this guy was errrr...."buying"

    totem poles are a big thing in alaska

    another nice view

    i had this picture taken just for Gwen

    if you can ever get there and do a cruise to alaska, its well worth it.

    the beauty of the land and wildlife are amazing.

    Kewl! ...but I think the totem link got confused with the one before it.

    Thanks for posting these. Looks lovely. I want to see a glacier up close someday. Before they all melt.

    Thanks Zev

    It looks a terrific place to visit. We'd love to go on an Alaskan cruise one day - I love the glaciers and mountains we saw in the rockies and I'm guessing Alaska is 'bigger and better' !

    Wow Zev, those are great! I can't wait to go next year.

    The last pic was a real looker I'm sure Gwen will appreciate that one.

    Did you see any of the glacer 's calf?

    Just amazing how pretty alaska is.

    Thanks for sharing those pics.

    Good Lord...what great pics....I'm going out to buy a lottery ticket right now...I wanna go there. Looks awesome...must have been a great experience.

    Zev, how about your next trip be Australia!! We've got some lovely didgeree doo playing natives and lots of sand and snakes, and koalas in the trees and tame kangaroos eat out of your hand It would make for great pics.

    Zev, you were here and didnt let me know???? I would love to meet some of you posters in real life!

    I went on a ferry with my girlfriend a few years ago...since we live in Anchorage we miss alot of the smaller towns. It was so beautiful. Last summer we drove down to Seward and climbed Exit Glacier. It was gorgeous! Even saw 2 bears.

    Anyone coming here has a free tour guide!
