Hello again Flexers,
Early May we were up very early in the morning to see the sunrise in Glacier
Bay. The Crystal Symphony at about 50,000 DWTs
is quite a small cruise ship and so we were able to sail far up the fiord -
further than we could in the much larger 90,000 DWT Princess ship that we
cruised on several years ago with friends from the LUG.
Here is Esther and me, dressed for the Arctic and with the heavy duty camera
equipment in hand. The picture was taken on the Fuji XT 1
by a helpful deck hand.

Such pristine wilderness, viewed through such clear cold air, really takes your
breath away.
Please view large, C&C always welcome.
