I was blessed with this beautiful scene when I woke up very early one morning hoping to catch the sunrise. As I stepped onto the back deck of the ship, I noticed another cruise liner making its way into the inlet leading to Skagway. The early morning light was beginning to touch the clouds and mountains, creating a soft, almost magical glow across the landscape. I carefully composed this image, wanting to capture not only the grandeur of the mountains, but also that fleeting moment when the first light of day began to awaken the scene.
