Seattle, Washington.

It’s been half a decade since we went cruising on the inside passage to Alaska’s port cities. It was August 24, 2013 when the Norwegian Pearl left the dock at Seattle and headed north for our Alaskan adventure. In less than 60 days, we will again be on an NCL ship, this time headed south from Los Angeles toward the Panama Canal. We are getting ready for our 2019 cruise so I thought it appropriate to feature a celllpic captured from the deck of the last ship we sailed when we went through the Panama Canal. After our 2013 Canal Cruise on the Pearl, we invited some of our family members to take the Pearl to Alaska out of Seattle.

About the photo: I used my first Smartphone for this shot, a Samsung S3. I sharpened the image a bit in Adobe Lightroom and then imported it into Nik’s Silver Efex Pro for conversion to black and white. In most browsers, you can click on an image to enlarge it for better detail. The rule for Cellpic Sunday is simple. The image must be captured on a mobile device.
