Winter Light

Winter in Alaska has unquestionably lovely light. The main problem is that there isn’t a lot of it. We are down to a mere six and half hours of sunlight per day and dropping at a rate of 6 minutes a day. What that means (aside from an increase in Seasonal Affective Disorder) is that the sun stays low on the southern horizon throughout the shortening days. For a photographer that means golden hour lasts all day long. It’s cold, the days are short, but the quality of light up here is unsurpassed.

By the way, the aurora forecast for tonight is looking promising…
