Creek Street

Creek Street in downtown Ketchikan is a scenic walk mostly on board walks.  Salmon were clearly visible in the quick flowing stream and a few harbor seals were also showing off for those passing by.  

I overheard some other tourists bemoaning the ill fate of some huge fish which appeared to be "belly up" in the water.  A few seconds later the beast came to life and was just a harbor seal floating on its back with its white belly pointed toward the clouds.  Surprise!!!!

In this particular picture a famous brothel, "Dolly's" was just to the right and was a favorite of miners in the early gold rush days of Ketchikan.
