interesting subject and shots mike! i would probably get seasick 
Thank you very much. On that fishing boat I was on there was an Australian tourist and as we were bouncing he got seasick, I felt so sorry for him, here you pay a lot of money for the boat trip and then you get so sick. He was sitting in the cabin as white as a sheet.

Thank you very much Richard. That area gets a lot of snow in the winter and also has very high-low tides, that might cause all that. As for the air conditioner, no need for that in Alaska, it most likely was holding a fuel tank.
You're welcome. I'll bet it is the tide. Perhaps the back of the one with the watermark is jammed (or gets jammed as the tide rises) so it isn't free to float, but the front floats up with the tide causing the angled watermark.
As for the platform on the other one, certainly a fuel tank on that platform makes much more sense--I really didn't think that one through! On download with magnification, one can see a children's swing set further back in that same image. Apparently the whole family lived there.
Again, such an interesting subject and very well captured.

These look like "lean-tos." T 
This well shot series is quite captivating Mike. I imagine setting a full cup of coffee down on the table only to see it spill over on one side. It's amazing how time causes things to shift and sag (waistlines included LOL).

A good friend of mine, she's about 60 now, lived in such a camp. Her parents owned a logging company. The live in the camp until she was 13 and went to the mainland (Alaska) for High School. She worked cleaning and cooking for the loggers.
She came to Oregon, got her degree and became a CPA. Two kids, now gone and she is living in Hawaii now with "her man"!
Amazing woman, Excellent Friend.
