There’s a magic few minutes when the sun first hits the crests of the formations and light them up, giving you an opportunity to put together beautiful compositions. But, it only lasts a few minutes.

I spent a few minutes making some images with the moon before it rose too high for a decent composition. There were a few images that worked, but this is the one I’m showing today.

These peaks that tower around me as I make my way through the trees leave my jaw open as I go.

Then the clouds opened up and the sun started to peek through, and suddenly my arctic prison turned into a paradise.
