15 June 2022 Ketchikan Alaska About Town


Lots of flowers all over town.  Shops were abundant as well.  We had some time before the ship departed so we looked at all of them.  There was everything from high end sculpture and painting to furs to native Tlingit crafts.  Everywhere we went there were interesting things to see.  Prior to 1952  there was a thriving group of "sporting" women that satisfied the locals.  Many of these women had a certain notoriety, Dolly being the most famous.  There were re-enactors on the street busking for tips.  We enjoyed the extensive floral displays and the colorful decorations along the walkway.

And flying totems


Creek street was the red light district


Green algae in the creek


Baldies were flying over us all day


Gracefully soaring


A plethora of jellyfish


Not Jelly Not Fish, Jellyfish


Some kind of yellow bush


Stained glass


Un and down the boardwalk


All the different animals
