Scenic Sunday, Camera Critters, Watery Wednesday / Kenai Fjords, Seward, Alaska, USA

 -Please enlarge for best views-
We took a 9 hour boat tour of the Kenai Fjords while in the Seward area of Alaska.
The scenery was marvelous!
...and, it was COLD!

Amazing rock formations!

It gets colder by the hour...
We're entering the glacier area at this point.

You can see seals in the water and floating on glacial ice!
I took many photos of the glaciers...this is just one close-up.
It was a cloudy day which gave the glaciers extraordinary color!

This little guy stole my heart!

No wonder you stayed outside rather than view them from behind window glasses of the boat. Glaciers are beautiful. You captured gorgeous sceneries of glaciers in the Kenai Fiyords.

Just one word: wow!

Re your comment: I parked by the railroad station then walked to the church and then to a restaurant near the station. It was yummy too. I think it was called the "Cowgirl Hall of Fame"
