Dutch Harbor

A vessel leaving town. Dutch Harbor. For some people this place is a personal hell, an ordeal must be endured in order to make money quick so they can go home. For others, it is incredibly beautiful (weather permitting). This was a comission done as a wedding gift to some friends i worked with back in my observer days. They met and fell in love here. This was based on a few photos i took in summer of 2015. Hog island to the left, the iconic Mt. Ballyhoo to the right. The road winds along the coast of Amaknak island this way before turning toward town and the bridge to Unalaska.This spot is a great place to go for a walk. Right below Bunker Hill, it's called Little South America because of the shape of the coastline here as seen from above. Happy belated anniversary you two .
