Working boats line both piers at Seattle’s Fishermen’s Terminal, their hulls and rigging reflected in a narrow ribbon of calm water. Bright hull colors and coiled lines sit under a sky of puffy clouds, and the air carries a mix of salt, diesel, and fresh cedar from nearby docks. Halyards tap gently against masts while gulls call over the deep blue basin.
I walked the dock to the center of the channel and framed a straight line of perspective toward the boats at the far end. I waited for a lull in the breeze so the water would settle and the reflections would sharpen, then timed the shot as light filled the clouds and lifted the paint on the bows. The scene felt like the heartbeat of a working harbor, quiet for a moment between departures.
