My Ballard reader Ross Carey snapped this beautiful shot from Sunset Hill very early Saturday morning of a cruise ship coming into port in Seattle.
“As I was making coffee at 5 a.m., the moon was setting and a cruise ship was coming in,” he wrote in an email. “It took 15 minutes for them to line up, the ship barely made it before the moon went down!” Thanks, Ross!
Beautiful photo from Sunset Hill

Beautiful! Thanks, for the ray of moonshine Ross! I needed something nice today.
And thanks for posting it, Geeky Swedes!
Spectacular! Thanks!
Wow, great shot Ross! You caught the moon and the fading sunlight at just the right moment.
That's a great shot. I love it when the moon is that color
Beautiful shot. The ship, BTW, is either the Sapphire Princess or its twin, the Diamond Princess. My wife and I honeymooned on the Sapphire during her inaugural season 5 years ago. Fantastic ship. Since then she's been making the rounds on other parts of the world but it looks like the twins are back to the Alaska run, starting next weekend.
Thanks for the photo and dusting off the memories.
Very nice!
Damn, that thing is HUGE! It makes the houses in the foreground look like toys.
Sweet, thanks Swedes, another incredible desktop background!

GREAT shot Ross!!!
We're traveling through China now, and it's lovely to see this reminder of home. The moon was full in Beijing last night…
