Travelling the highways in the Yukon and Alaska it is quite common to see road side banks covered with these graffeti rock markings.

 Worthington Glacier on the way into Valdez

 Again fishing is very popular.

 The gulls enjoy the remains

 Closer

 And Closer

 And Closer

 Oil tanks in Valdez - the end of the pipeline and waiting for the tanker ships.

We went out to the outer side of the bay where there is a fish hatchery, where at the time we we there, there was supposed to be a good chance of seeing Bears and Eagles but they were no show.

 Lots of Pink Salmon

The Seals and Gulls liked them too.

July 19th Leaving Homer arriving in Seward - July 21st Anchorage

A few parting shots at Homer a well placed Eagles nest at the edge of town gave good views of both the eagle and the eaglet in the nest.

This photo was taken from a viewpoint leaving Homer of the spit. We camped on the end of the spit.

A cruise ship in harbour.

 We drove out to the Exit Glacier in Kenai Fiord National Park

 This boat with Helicopter was moored in the bay just in front of our campsite (right on the fiord), it was being guessed that the boat was transporting some surveyors out to some remote site.

 We visited the Alaska Sealife Center, a very interesting place.

This will probably be my only chance to get a close shot of a live puffin.

Returning to Anchorage we visited the Ulu Knife factory and restocked our supplies to coninue our trip (nice to have a Costco and Fred Meyers).
