Continuing on from post 95 on our cruise of the Inside Passage, day 5 was all about coming ashore at the Port of Juneau.<br />

Juneau was named after a gold prospector Joe Juneau in 1881 and sits at sea level at the foot of mountains that are 3,500 to 4,00 ft or 1,100 to 1,200m high.<br />
<br />
Cruise ships must be popular in Juneau, as one left shortly after ours arrived and another arrived soon after ours.<br />
<br />
The port is a very deep natural port and has a tidal range of around 6ft or 5m.<br />
<br />
At one point we were able to observe surface waves rolling in through the passage as the tide came in whilst at one of the observation spots on Mt Roberts.<br />

<br />
The port is also a busy seaplane operations base due to the nature of transport in Alaska, and the isolation of Juneau.<br />
<br />
In 1906 Juneau became the state Capital after Sitka lost the title due to a decline in its commercial importance.<br />

</tbody></table>
We found the place very scenic and friendly although we were there on a dry day and not a normal day which is wet and cold.<br />
<br />
Whilst travelling up on the cable car to Mt Roberts the operator made a joke about the local weather stating that it normally rained 400 days per year.<br />
<br />
We left Juneau late that evening and felt that we would be happy to come back sometime for another look.<br />
<br />
Stay well and see you next time.<br />

Let me start of with saying that we just did not give this place enough time so we will be going back.<br />
<br />
The Big Basin Redwoods State Park in the Santa Cruz Mountains if a scenic old growth forest which is great to hike around on the many marked trails. <a href="http://www.bigbasin.org/NewFiles/big-basin-v82JPEGsmall.jpg">(trail map)</a><br />
<br />
With 80 miles of trails we only tasted a couple of miles but then that was mainly due to having a 3 year old with little legs slowing us down a little.<br />
<br />
The hike was just great and having our own Naturalist guide; my wife Julia, meant that we had a full run down on the decomposition and breakdown process, fungus identification and many discussions relating to anything from banana slugs to the difference between old growth forests compared to logged regrowth forests.<br />
<br />
We had scenic spots to stop at, fallen trees to climb and to go under and streams to cross.<br />

The other week it was Fleet Week in San Francisco and whilst we didn't get to see much of it, we did decide to see a glimpse of the Blue Angels.<br />
<br />
I say a glimpse because instead of fighting the crowds at the waterfront in San Francisco we decided to go the the airport instead.<br />
<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GKg_ysYqDXQ/Tpfk2JCC2_I/AAAAAAAACQM/HazsF_ttj9k/s1600/Blue+Angels+San+Francisco+2011+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GKg_ysYqDXQ/Tpfk2JCC2_I/AAAAAAAACQM/HazsF_ttj9k/s320/Blue+Angels+San+Francisco+2011+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Fat Albert C130 returning </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Whilst the disadvantage of this was that we didn't get to see the main show. the advantages were many, including: a shorter car trip, easy parking, no crowds, and plenty of aircraft to watch taking off and landing.<br />
<br />
The biggest advantage of going to the airport was that we did see things that the rest of the crowd didn't, such as; Fat Albert the C130 Support Aircraft do a simulated rocket assisted take off with a climb out at 45 degrees and then a simulated short landing with a similarly steep angle of decent so as to avoid small arms fire by staying as high as possible for as long as possible.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Blue Angels</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
We also obviously had the chance to see the Blue Angels do a formation take off and then a formation landing. We were surprised that the Blue Angels didn't stay out longer as they were only gone for about 20 minutes.<br />
<br />
Well next year we may fight the traffic and go in to San Fran, have a great day.<br />

The water was totally milky with ground silt from the effect of the glacier, and the icebergs in some cases were full of dirt.</div>

Continuing on from my previous post we are now on day 3 of our cruise along the Inside Passage Alaska, heading to Icy Strait Point. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We arrived on schedule after more spectacular scenery along the way in the sheltered waters of the passage.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
On arrival we went out on deck to a find a very chilled deck and made sure we were rugged up for the shore visit.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
The locals at Icy Strait are apparently outnumbered by bears 3:1 and it would appear that they are outnumbered by cruise visitors by many times that.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We headed to shore using the vessels tenders and were glad that the water was calm for the trip ashore, especially when boarding the tender with children.</div>

My previous post was all about day two of our last vacation, which was also day one of the Cruise on the Celebrity Century along the Inside Passage to Alaska.<br />
<br />
After leaving Vancouver on day one at around 4pm and sailing through the night we moved into the next day with another day of sailing ahead.<br />
<br />
Activities on-board meant that whilst at sea there was plenty to do with, Kids club (Fun Factory), shopping, theatre, plenty of bars and places to eat and hot tubs and pools (although the weather was OK for the hot tub but not the pool).<br />

<br />
Whilst it may have been a bit chilly for a swim, at least the rain stayed away and the ocean was calm.<br />
<br />
One disadvantage with taking this cruise at the end of summer is shorter hours when compared with the longer summer hours.<br />

Had we had longer daylight hours we could have enjoyed the majestic vista from the ship whilst sailing the Inside Passage.<br />
<br />
It was time for dinner and early bed whilst looking forward to the next days arrival at Icy Strait Point in Alaska.<br />

As our first day was made up of travel from Cupertino in California to Vancouver BC where we board the ship; it meant an early start to catch a United flight to Vancouver in time for lunch, with the other members of the family whom we were cruising with.<br />

After lunch we took the opportunity to walk around the port city and found ourselves attracted to the waterfront operations of cruise ships departing and seaplanes coming and going.<br />
<br />
It was a brilliant day in Vancouver with warm temps and a bright blue sky against the backdrop of lush green hills and blue water.<br />

On Sunday 21st August we made a trip to Mt Diablo (Google <i><b><a href="http://g.co/maps/98gc">Map</a></b></i>)an isolated up-thrust peak at 3,864 ft or 1,178 m, and about a 90 minute drive from Cupertino.<br />

<br />
The kids just loved climbing and exploring this area and have asked to go back there.<br />
<br />
Even little Ivy loved it even though she kept falling over, and we all agree that next time we will dress better for rock climbing.<br />

<br />
The boys have enjoyed their time so much at Sorrento Primary and they found saying goodbye sad, hard, and exciting all at the same time.<br />
<br />
The teachers, assistants, and friends all did and gave so much in time, effort and presents resulting in a few tears and comments about not leaving.<br />

</tbody></table>Julia attended Reuben's kindy class today in early celebration of Mothers day as it will be school holidays over that time.<br />
<br />
To her surprise Reuben was selected to play Prince Charming in the class play, and after the play there was the usual pampering, cards and hand made gifts for mum.<br />
<br />
Beside this I have struggled with time allocation for blog updates of late, with preparation for a move to the US still underway, and involvement through investments into a couple of companies I have had little time to dedicate to blog posts.<br />

The kids loved it with the Ferry trip, playgrounds and ice creams.<br />

Julia and I also wanted to visit the place we were married but the area was fenced off and unfortunately we couldn't take the kids to the area or the board walk just next door.<br />

It was a very sunny and therefore bright, reflective day for Lila's 2nd Birthday attended by us on Saturday, and whilst that didn't present any problems to the celebrations; it certainly presented much harsh and direct light for photography which needed much flash fill.<br />
<br />
With all the party food around, it was difficult to find a clean non sticky kid face to photograph, but that is always a problem with little ones.<br />

</tbody></table>Sydney is certainly the Capital city of New South Wales and the most populous city in Australia, and I have probably visited it more often than any other city in Australia outside of Perth.<br />
<br />
Over two trips I made I had some night time opportunity to take waterfront shots, in particular the Harbour Bridge, and Opera House.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately I did not have a tripod so all shots were hand held or hand supported and the release was hand operated also, with some of the shots at high ISO settings.<br />

<div><br />
</div><div>I wanted to add photographers I like into my blog posts for those that read my blog and enjoy my photos, I thought it would be of interest to you to see some of the work from other photographers, who's work I like.</div><div><br />
</div><div>In respect to Trey Ratcliff, he is very well known on the web and is an expert in HDR photography, something I will still need to try for myself, beyond my one failed attempt so far.</div><div><br />
</div><div>If you don't know what HDR is, then in its simplest form it stand for High Dynamic Range and typically allows for the representation of a tonal range from the darkest to brightest part of the scene without under or over exposing.</div><div><br />
</div><div>But if you want to learn more then Trey's website is the place, to get there just click on the first line in this blog starting with Trey Ratcliff and enjoy.</div>Jack Andryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08798855203110504813noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792265970857220425.post-56156741286606123102011-04-03T10:14:00.001-07:002011-04-03T10:17:30.867-07:00Post 76, Carmen's 70s, 80s, 90s, Birthday Party<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6ZOPRpkykc9pWqWMHI-uwnLvfEXuVQnJeS2GOjzNPT1hvYUiCBAEV3dl_DMNjRW3pSGu2kB7RXIUunBKVGUUq6WBmtFTkBeg-wu4_36EMlsSwxC7q7AgevzDbPoCIaGK9jijidf0Hj0Pe/s1600/Carmen+70s+Party+7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6ZOPRpkykc9pWqWMHI-uwnLvfEXuVQnJeS2GOjzNPT1hvYUiCBAEV3dl_DMNjRW3pSGu2kB7RXIUunBKVGUUq6WBmtFTkBeg-wu4_36EMlsSwxC7q7AgevzDbPoCIaGK9jijidf0Hj0Pe/s200/Carmen+70s+Party+7.jpg" width="200" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWhQjmra2p4yI1LuMrAFdR1A77BEIgx6EllCawxal7N9uBMzVUWfgGdN3EQEbggPGS6LV8WyQfe2XZY_L5E6fSBAH3aBKzkuO4pWgoCoVY0679zP0A12qrCKkRzbK5DHGpcTsaXe2PSijO/s1600/Carmen+70s+Party.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="133" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWhQjmra2p4yI1LuMrAFdR1A77BEIgx6EllCawxal7N9uBMzVUWfgGdN3EQEbggPGS6LV8WyQfe2XZY_L5E6fSBAH3aBKzkuO4pWgoCoVY0679zP0A12qrCKkRzbK5DHGpcTsaXe2PSijO/s200/Carmen+70s+Party.jpg" width="200" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6iq9KwU5d_0REtXNMLjTiHoYZlBuL0-rD6w6VedEgkvJiwE4I4dJG4I41kWyFPde1klskYXrSQaoPeFPAhU6nKT9QsLt51viFDoDtY3IF58yG1rADhnTpZGxbXQDv7nyeaJO4IICT8JCa/s1600/Carmen+70s+Party+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6iq9KwU5d_0REtXNMLjTiHoYZlBuL0-rD6w6VedEgkvJiwE4I4dJG4I41kWyFPde1klskYXrSQaoPeFPAhU6nKT9QsLt51viFDoDtY3IF58yG1rADhnTpZGxbXQDv7nyeaJO4IICT8JCa/s200/Carmen+70s+Party+5.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />

</tbody></table>The other week our children's school ran a coin donation fund raising event based on a dress-up day with the theme "Walking Wounded".<br />
<br />
The idea was to come dressed as either a member of the medical profession or someone who has been injured.<br />
<br />
The kids hopefully took to heart that at the moment and certainly this year there have been many natural disasters resulting in a large amount of suffering around the world.<br />
<br />
Reuben was the injured party and Declan the doctor, with Reuben being lucky to by picked out by the Red Cross representatives for a prize for his costume.<br />
<br />
<br />
I understand that the money raised was going towards those suffering at the moment.Jack Andryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08798855203110504813noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792265970857220425.post-85088589081217171842011-03-29T09:57:00.000-07:002011-03-29T09:57:20.269-07:00Post 74, More on last weekend<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>Out side of the school function on Saturday night as posted in the last post which finished Sunday morning, we had an active Sunday also but with fewer photos from that day.<br />
<br />
<br />
Breakfast at Hillarys Marina, and an afternoon at the beach rounded the day off.<br />
<br />
We were all ready for a wonderful Spinach and Ricotta Cannelloni before heading to bed for the kids, and to the computers for the adults.<br />
