Creek Street, Ketchikan, Alaska (2)
KETCHIKAN (TLINGIT, the native language: KICHX?ÁAN)
Just 90 miles north of Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Ketchikan hugs the bluffs that form the shoreline along the southwest corner of Revillagigedo Island. Stretching 31 miles long but never more than 10 blocks wide, Ketchikan is centered on Tongass Avenue. On one side of the avenue, many businesses and homes are built on stilts out over the water, while on the other side they cling to the steep slopes and often have winding wooden staircases leading to their doors. Ketchikan has about 8000 inhabitants.

Nice view of the houses on stilts. Merci pour l'historique. Chris.Sabine Junge 16/10/2022 11:52
In the front the creek and behind wooded hills and in the midst a lot of pile dwellings. That makes this scene very interesting, dear Adele.Warm greetings, Sabine

Eine eigenwillige Bauweise - gefällt mir gut und ganz nah an der Natur!!! Eine rundum gelungene Aufnahme - sehr schön die Spiegelungen und die Seevögel.... VG!Robert Buatois 13/10/2022 14:25
Belle image à reflets, montrant un endroit agréable. Ces maisons adossées à la forêt ont une place privilégiée.Amitiés

How interesting to look at the houses built over the water ( with beautiful reflections) - What is hanging in the first house ? looks like the "carps" for the japanese festivities. Hugs, ElviLily-Rose 13/10/2022 10:25

So wie die Häuser teilweise auf den Holzpfählen gebaut wurden finde ich abenteurlich.Sehr gut von Dir dokumentiert.+++++
