Creek Street, Ketchikan, Alaska
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.

Alaska isn't on my list yet, but this reminds me a lot of Norway. A beautiful perspective where the houses and reflections border the water very naturally.Regards

I have never seen such a construction method of housebuilding along a steep coast. Very interesting to see the "street" on stilts along the houses. An impressive capture to show this.Warm regards Bernd

I do understand why cruise ships visit this place. It looks like a place from a fairy tale.Andreas

Les constructions sont très sympathiques au-dessus de l'eau ou tout près, la promenade-rue près des maisons longe les bords de l'eau en beauté, un plaisir d'habiter cet endroit au charme discret dans la nature, entre hauteurs boisées bien vertes et eau sombre aux clairs reflets! Un petit paradis aquatique! Ta photo très nette et bien cadrée valorise cette vision colorée où j'aime le style des habitations en bois! Bises et compliments Adele, bonne fin d'après-midi!

When all the cruise ships dockhere at the same time, however,
it'll get crowded on this street.
