Description

This close-up photo with unidentifiable people features a National Park Service boat in motion, about to pick up a ranger at our cruise ship in Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska. Shot from above, from a balcony on the Pacific Princess in Glacier Bay in late afternoon. The sun would not set until nearly midnight, but the light in this image is glorious.

There is plenty of wave motion and sea-spray, too, in this action shot. Colors are basically red, white, and blue, with color interest in the complementary tones of aqua blue of the sea and the rangers dressed in their orange uniforms. One or more had come aboard to inform passengers and answer our questions as we explored this exquisite area. Glacier Bay is definitely a Bucket List destination, a trip-of-a-lifetime.
