Safari Explorer, at anchor in Red Bluff Bay, Alaska, 2013

Our small expedition ship held 22 passengers and a crew of 13 on this particular cruise. Instead of anchoring in ports as the large cruise ships do, the Safari Explorer (Un-Cruise Adventures, http://www.un-cruise.com) spent each evening of our cruise anchored in wilderness coves and bays along the way. I made this image just before 10:00 pm in the evening, and the long Alaskan summer day still gilds the waters of Red Bluff Bay, while the cliffs that soar overhead shadow the ship and the background. I was riding in one of our skiffs as I made this image, and one of my fellow passengers paddling a kayak layers the picture for me by offering a scale comparison to the Safari Explorer.
