Shipboard details

One of the first photos I took upon boarding was a detail shot of an elevator door. Beautiful carvings on the entire thing, but this flower really caught my eye.

Up early one morning right after the deck had been hosed off and I noticed these benches, specifically the reflections of the "portholes" in the water. A quiet, lovely time of day and I had the place almost entirely to myself. Ahhhhhh . . .

Alaska views

Continuing on with my black and white series of photos from Alaska... the coastal views were amazing traveling now from Juneau to Sitka, Glacier Bay, and Ketchikan. A snow-covered mountain peak stands alone at one point; a strange cloud formation hovers over a peak that's reflected in Glacier Bay; clouds roll over a secluded inlet; rays of light angle down above low-lying hills; a gull takes off from a small iceberg in Glacier Bay; and our ship, the Westerdam, awaits offshore as we are tendered in from Sitka, my favorite town on the trip. ©Carol Leigh
