Dutch Harbor Cemetary

Landscapes of Dutch Harbor

I found this seashell when I was beachcombing by Summers Bay.

This is a photo of the spit that I took while heading up Mt. Ballyhoo.

This photo is a view from the top of Ballyhoo. I really liked the single flower clinging to the edge of the cliff.

This picture was taken at Summers Bay. After some lessons by Chris on how to use my camera and the use of his tripod I was able to capture a few good pictures of the water breaking on the rocks.

Wildflowers

These are some of the wildflowers that I found while exploring the island. Dutch Harbor is a strange place, one day I would find a cluster of flowers fully in bloom and the next day they would be gone.

This photo is one of the wild horses on the island. They are very friendly and used to people.

I was driving up Haystack Mountain to check out the views on this clear day. I was lucky enough to be able to catch a crab boat heading out to sea.

This is the Russian Orthodox Church in Dutch Harbor, it is one of the oldest churches in Alaska.

I was found this starfish when I was fishing for salmon behind the airport.

Eagles

The eagle above was on one of the stacks of crab pots that were stored on tank hill above the site that I was working at. This one let me get within 10 feet.

The eagle above is drying off his feathers after a rain, he is the other half of the pair of eagles that made the nest below.

During my first trip to Dutch Harbor last year I spent some time watching the pair of eagles make this nest. When I came back I was surprised to see two babies...definitely not the majestic eagle appearance that everyone is used to.
