shadowmeboy Posted October 21, 2023 Author #131 Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) Our "Glacier" photo You can just barely see Hubbard Glacier I was showing people my 2016 Hubbard Glacier photo so they could see what it should look like. versus this Mark and Julie We then started pulling away from Hubbard Glacier. As we were leaving, the Norwegian Jewel was arriving into Hubbard Glacier. I saw it, but didn't have my phone or camera for a picture.

shadowmeboy Posted October 25, 2023 Author #132 Share Posted October 25, 2023 After the Hubbard Glacier, we needed to get something to eat ahead of the lightning auction that was going to be going on. Off to the buffet we went again. We attended the lightening auction and purchased one of the artists that was on my list to own. We bought this interactive piece by Tim Yanke. Click the video below to see a clip I shot using Park West Gallery Moving Canvas App. Along with this Jon Rattenbury, which goes nicely with the Rattenbury we bought on the Encore. Here they are side by side on the wall. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowmeboy Posted October 25, 2023 Author #138 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Sailing into Sitka! This will be our second visit to Sitka, the first was in 2016. We were glad to come back! The dock! Looks like Holland America will be joining us today in Sitka. Its about 6:45 at this moment. We are scheduled to arrive at the dock at 7am. Let's just say a few dock workers were complaining that they had to start working a few minutes early. I could hear them from deck 10 from down on the dock. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowmeboy Posted October 25, 2023 Author #141 Share Posted October 25, 2023 I see jellies! So in 2022, we had arranged a private tour through Sitka Tours. When the Sun hit the Iceberg and we had to jump to the Spirit, we lost Sitka. They were easy to cancel in 2022. So when we booked this cruise, they were the first email I sent. I felt bad cancelling less than a week before in 2022, so I really wanted to give them our business. Best tour guide we could have gotten! -- I will start the tour tomorrow 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowmeboy Posted October 25, 2023 Author #144 Share Posted October 25, 2023 So we got on the tour. We were put on a bus with others from another ship who booked their tours through their cruise line (and paid more than us). On our way into Sitka 1st stop on the tour was the Alaska Raptor Center This is the training and rehabilitation area of the Raptor Center. The windows are obstructed so the eagles don't see the visitors. These eagles are being rehabilitated to be released back into the wild. After we looked at the birds in the flight center, we headed into the auditorium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowmeboy Posted October 25, 2023 Author #145 Share Posted October 25, 2023 They brought one of the birds that can never be released into the wild again out. This bird is named Sitka. I put the zoom lens on. I find the facial expressions of the employee to be fascinating, especially in relation to the bird. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowmeboy Posted October 26, 2023 Author #146 Share Posted October 26, 2023 The bird also knows she has treats. That's the I want a treat look. See the water droplet on the end of the beak? Look into my eyes! This is one of my favorite pictures! Hello! I need a treat Finally I love how the bird looks the same direction as she is talking. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
