Red Snapper on Ice in Anchorage Market

Rows of whole red snapper rest in neat lines atop crushed ice on a weathered wooden shelf. The copper-toned light of the midnight sun falls through the covered market, casting long, quiet shadows along the whitewashed walls. Silver scales shimmer with a reddish hue against the stark white ice, while the rough grain of the wooden planks provides a textured foundation. The scene remains still under the continuous daylight, where the cool blue of the melting ice contrasts with the warm, golden glow overhead. One fish near the edge reflects the overhead light on its wet skin.
