Alaska - Photos Sept. 2006

Wonderful cruise. However, the weather didn't cooperate. It was mostly foggy and rainy. This made shooting rather difficult, as I was faced with gray days, gray water, limited contrast, limited light, rain drops on available windows, etc. So the images are a bit softer and noisier than I would lke. But, they still show the spectacular scenery.
