On my trip to Juneau, Alaska over spring break, I got to see some amazing things and learn about the extensive history of the town. Apparently, bald eagles are a common sight in for the locals, while I was FREAKING OUT. I got to see about five eagles flying around the beach and perching on the old salt house. The salt house was one of many artifacts from the old mining town that was lost to a fire on Douglas Island. We took a lot of walks down Sandy Beach, which was full of remains from the mine.

An old weathered down boat, now covered in clams and mollusks that appeared on a low-tide day.
Incredible shots!
