My six-day cruise through the Inside Passage ended in Juneau, and I extended the trip by flying out to a remote fishing camp at the end of Admiralty Island, where I enjoyed four additional days of nature photography. In this image, I stood on a floating dock almost below the wing of a private floatplane, and made this image of the floatplane base at Juneau’s International Airport. I used this plane’s wing to create a horizontal frame within my frame. The horizontal wing echoes the wings of the plane parked just in front of us, as well as the horizon, along with the sweep of the roadway adjoining the huge basin where floatplanes are parked, takeoff, and land. The distant mountains offer context – these floatplanes connect Juneau with wilderness destinations throughout Southeast Alaska.
