Final Salute, Bombay, India, 2016

Since its establishment in 1873, Bombay’s port has been the gateway to India. This image, which I made at sunset as we sailed out of the harbor, creates a metaphor for that very “gateway” by framing a distant Indian sailboat precisely between a pair of giant cranes. I centered the setting sun just above them, using its halo effect to create a huge curve in the sky that echoes the curve of the sun itself. This image offers a final salute to Bombay, spanning my three visits to India’s largest city over the last quarter of a century.

The boat is small and almost invisible, yet it made the picture for me as well, Tim.

Wow - and the boat.
