Downtown Juneau

Tlingit art was everywhere.
aac.jpg
St. Nicholas's Russian Orthodox Cathedral, distinctive for its octagonal shape.
aad.jpg
Inside St. Nicholas's.
aae.jpg
Inside St. Nicholas's.
aaf.jpg
Inside St. Nicholas's. What amazed me was that there were no pews like in most other churches. The same was true of St. Michael's in Sitka.
aag.jpg
View of Juneau looking down; we walked back up Franklin St., which is a steep hill.
aah.jpg
Another strange flower we found.
aai.jpg
Another view of St. Nicholas's.

Ketchikan may have the most totem poles, but Juneau has some too. Apparently when the Christians came, they thought the natives worshiped the poles and tried to have them destroyed, but in reality they were a way of passing on histories in a culture that had no written language.
aak.jpg
Alaska state capitol building, Juneau.
aal.jpg
More Tlingit art.
aam.jpg
This depicts the Eagle and the Raven, the two major moieties (clans) of the Tlingit people. Everyone belongs to one or the other, and they can't marry within their own clans -- Eagles have to marry Ravens and vice versa. It's matrilineal, so you belong to whichever one your mother is.

Bear-proof garbage can in Juneau. They apparently do have problems with bears coming into town sometimes.

The Mt. Roberts Tramway.
