Right place, right time

A midsize cruise ship on the near horizon is framed between two coastal houses one with white siding and one with blue siding. The photo is credited to L. Plotnick, 2024.

This was my view when I got off the public bus in my neighborhood on Friday afternoon. The Norwegian Cruise Line ship NORWEGIAN GEM had departed Boston half an hour earlier for Bermuda.

With just a few seconds to capture this perfect framing, I reached for the only camera I had—the one on my iPhone 12 Pro—and snapped away.

Despite the blur, I’m pleased with the result. No need to start carrying around a tripod.
