Alaska State Ferry

The Alaska State Ferries used to dock in Seattle, now the only come down as far as Bellingham, just south of the Canadian border. Passage and state rooms were booked separately. I just booked passage and laid out my sleeping bag on one of the lawn chairs on the aft sun deck. Sat there and watched some of the most glorious scenery slip by. You probably can't do that now.

In order to keep the verticals vertical and to get the top of the stack, I had to exceed the coverage of the little 90mm Angulon. I thought that including the image circle was pretty daring. Of course, Atget did that 100 years ago.
