A few final pictures

As promised, some photos I took last night as I took one last evening walk in Sitka.

A rare sunset on the sound. Yesterday evening was sunny and clear, kind of unusual for Fall in Southeast Alaska. Low tide.
 A pink salmon skeleton. The salmon spawned, died, and were picked clean by eagles and seagulls.
Looking south of town. 

 Totem Park:
 A few remaining huckleberries:
 Through the trees toward the coast south of Sitka.
 Last roses and rose hips:
 The hatchery:
 Crescent Harbor:
 The harbor. No more cruise ships.
 The Cable House and the main harbor:
 A float plane taking off in the harbor:
 Katlian Street and the fishing fleet:
 Mountains on the coast:
 Mt. Edgecombe and the crater in the distance. Seen from O'Connell Bridge:
So, I will board the ferry with my car at 3 am tonight. The ferry will take almost 2 days to get to Prince Rupert, British Columbia. Homeward bound!
