From my recent family Alaskan cruise! Glacier Bay and the Inner Passage were great! Favorites?

You were truly blessed with outstanding weather. Many people cruise to Alaska and never see a mountaintop due to low clouds. Consider yourself fortunate - and your photos are outstanding. Truly.
Thank you Sunshooter! It was amazing weather to be sure. I was worried when we woke up the day we were to see glacier bay because all I could see was fog out the window. Then, poof, we sailed right out of a wall of fog and into blue skies. I'll try to find a photo.
Wall of fog!

Beautiful series, loved them all
Thanks
Nice job capturing the beauty of Alaska, they are all nice but my favorite is the one with the fishing boat in the foreground, it shows how massive the mountains truly are.
Thanks all! Alaska is a true playground for even the amateur photographer!!

Fantastic. Looks like you didn't miss a thing. Great photography. I just moved the Alaska trip up my get it done list. Thanks for the tour. :thumbup:
Beautiful set!! Hard to pick a favorite.
Wow, we just returned from our Alaska cruise also just as you said it was great. We went on the NC Jewel Aug. 31. Could not believe how beautiful Alaska is. Great photos thanks for sharing.
Great shots and great weather! Since Alaska weather is so changeable and often quite wet and cloudy, when were you there?
We were there the first two weeks of August. We were in the interior the first week--where the weather has been unseasonably warm this year (85 F in Fairbanks!), and the second week on the cruise. We had a little mild rain, but only enough to make me think twice about protecting my gear by putting it under my jacket, but not enough to prevent me from getting the shots I wanted. I also had a waterproof P&S for the worst times. I like that combo, but sometimes I forget to wipe off the glass protecting the lens, which leads to droplet shaddows which are annoying.

Sounds like your timing was just right for this year. We were there two years ago and did the reverse trip. We sailed on Aug. 13th and finished up flying out of Anchorage about the 25th. The cruise portion was mostly rain , fog or clouds obscuring the mountains. The land portion was some rain but constant low clouds obscuring the mountains in Danali and enroute, low light most of the time. On the plus side, we did see a lot of wildlife and good fall color on the tundra.
