Sunset Sunday-The Sunset Setting Sail to the Last Frontier

I boarded the ms Westerdam in Seattle’s harbor on a most beautiful afternoon. The crystal clear blue sky along with the glistening water of the Puget Sound made for a perfect setting to set sail. It was the perfect time to celebrate too.  I was heading north to visit America’s final frontier – Alaska.

After a delicious dinner, seared scallops with bacon, the prime rib (end cut) and some award winning wine I headed up to the observation deck to observe one of my favorite moments of the day – the sunset.

Around 9pm, standing in the cool breeze, I was rewarded with another splendid sunset at sea. It was the perfect beginning to the week at sea. Happy Sunset Sunday

Stay adventurous, Craig

    Enjoy the beautiful sunsets at sea and America’s last frontier, Alaska. Try the salmon and halibut it is the best by far in Alaska.

    Craig, Gorgeous shot. Sad I won’t be able to see you while you’re in AK.
    Perhaps Mexico in autumn and you can teach how best to photograph the sunset so I get gorgeous shots like yours.

    Being a nature lover, I’m so excited for you to see such pristine places and things in Alaska. Enjoy it and thanks for letting us live vicariously.

      Maggie, it is hard to even show the majesty of Alaska in photos (although I am sure to try)… it is simply gorgeous, a true bucket list destination. Stay Majestic, Craig
