Glacier Bay Part 5

Up here around all the Glaciers you can see that the water is a really pretty turquoise green. That's from the Glaciers- from the silt in the melt water from the Glaciers.

The first ice chunks we went by.

The first big Glacier we went by.

Finally the clouds really started to part and it got quite sunny.

Glacier Bay Part 3

It's kind of hard to see because there is nothing to give it scale, but in the middle of the photo is a glacier hanging off the side of the mountain.

Independence Day

For the Fourth of July I went downtown with Ellin (she works downtown and has a parking pass) to see the fireworks by the Washington Monument. I was warned not to take the Metro, and thank goodness I went with Ellin and stayed away from the Metro. As soon as the fireworks ended, the zillion people who were swarming downtown to watch the fireworks all made a beeline for the subway. It took us a while to get out of downtown, but it was way better than being underground with all those people.

Here are a few shots I took.
