| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Petersburg is a Norweigan fishing village on Mitkof Island with no cruise ship access so it had a real small town feel about it although it had just survived a big influx of tourists for the Little Norway Festival. The festival crew were waiting to board the ferry on which we arrived. The Cold Storage had the best smoked salmon I’ve ever eaten. Their halibut bites were great too.
There was a house for sale on this slough for $110K. It looked like it needed a lot of work, but it was right in the business district with direct access to the harbor when the tide was in and had room for RV parking. |

Hello Patricia,
I like this composition. The colours and the reflection are great.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Patricia. I like this shot of the waterfront and thought it might be Alaska when I first saw it. I think that it speaks of the quiet little towns that can be found all over the state.
These houses remind me Lofoten Islands "rorbur" houses indeed! I remember that I enjoyed a midnight sun in a Lofoten rorbur in June some years ago! Norwegian people settled in Alaska?? Alaska environment may be similar to Norway, really!
Ciao!! Livia
I wonder what is like to live in a little place like this and away from big cities. Very nice atmosphere with quite neighbours, perhaps!, and everything being so close to everything else. Lovely place Pat. I really think I should take a trip up north sometime soon. I like the clarity of this picture, the natural colors and the whole place as pictured by you. Nice :-)

That's interesting, I didn't know about Petersburg and didn't see this photo before my previous comment on the ferry map recalling me the Norwegian fjords.
Like my previous critique, I'd say that this picture may benefit from more PP as well.

Hi Pat,
This looks like my kind of place, homes on stilts, salt air and no paved highway. Very soothing reflection in this calm harbor. When my ship comes in I'll be in the next feighter out of Prince Rupert.
Regards, Tom
