Ice and lights

I'm back! I enjoyed my cruise aboard the Celebrity Century a lot more than expected and really miss the fantastic food (the crème brûlée was out of this world) and the fun shows (the dance contest was hilarious!). The three Alaskan ports we stopped at sold a lot of gemstone jewellery including diamonds, tanzanites, and mystic topazes. The last was dubbed northern lights topaz, which was a little strange for me since I know the real name, which isn't used for marketing to tourists. There was also another coated stone called glacier ice topaz and that name made me smile too. In any case, here is a snapshot of the Hubbard Glacier:
