Collecting Seaweed in Skagway for Pit firing Pots








Pictures from top-White Pass train at Bridal veil Falls, a couple of cruise ships, the ore terminal, looking up Tyia inlet toward the Chilkoot pass, down the Lynn canal (south),rocks on the beach at Yukatania, and two young women collecting seaweed. Okay, one young and one not so young!
It was a beautiful day, in fact the last one of a series of record highs.
I use the seaweed to wrap around the pots when I pit fire them. Along with salt and copper carbonate they help to create an interesting surface design.

Trip to Skagway







Yesterday was beautiful. Both Windy Arm of Tagish Lake and Tutshi Lake were calm! At least on the way over they were. Took a photo of the tourists taking photos of the landscape up at the top of the pass. This bear was trying to get away from Cassie the dog. She must have been a Karelian bear dog in another life. She hates them and will try to jump out windows to make them move.
All my pots are now in Skagway getting sold, I hope!
