Clayton Lloyd, Gateway to Heven (LANDSCAPE 2026)

I captured this image while our cruise ship was making its way toward Istanbul, Turkey. Inside, passengers gathered for dinner, unaware of the quiet spectacle unfolding beyond the windows. While most were focused inward, I stepped outside. This photograph is about awareness — about stepping outside, pausing, and witnessing something fleeting before it disappears.
