  • Autumn's Winter

    Autumn's Winter

    An early snowfall fell in September of 2013 in Fairbanks. The foliage was just coming into peak and the oranges and yellows were beautifully covered in a bit of white. I would not mind if snow fell every year on autumn leaves.

    Winter "Sunrise"

    Taken at 12:30 in the afternoon one fine December morning. Around the winter solstice we don't see the Sun from our house. It stays just below the base of the trees. There is enough light that we do get some fine "tree glow" for a few hours though.
