Alaska - Bald Eagles and Hump-backed Whales

We are going away on Wednesday to Cape Town, South Africa so getting the bags ready. What a shock to find an SD card in the bottom of a ruck sac from our trip to Alaska last year. Lots of whale pics and Bald Eagle pics......what a trip, would do it again in an instant ! 

Beautiful forest with a couple of bald eagles sitting proud. Stunning scenery and all from the comfort of a cruise ship
