Tanker Dreams

This was shot last spring. The whole bay was filled with pea soup fog and from the water level you would never guess that the sky was clear and the sun was out. I guessed that was the case so I drove up the mountain to a location overlooking the Valdez Marine Terminal (Valdez, Alaska) where I was above the fog. All that could be seen was fog surrounded by the mountains which were bathed in morning alpenglow. While I was taking a couple multiple frame panoramas the fog started to dissapate and a tanker, moored at one of the berths began to show through. I shot this frame and since then have sold multiple prints to employees of the company that owned the tanker and to employees of the Marine Terminal
