I took this picture outside of Fairbanks, Alaska; mid December of 2017. One of the first Aurora photos I’ve ever taken. Also, this was definitely much on the experimental side. Although slightly blurred, I feel the picture overall captures the Alaskan winter at it’s best! A car just so happened to drive up, as I was using long long exposure settings on my camera to capture the auroras!

Absolute onslaught;
Relentlessly flowing chills,
Entraps the heedless.

The wind cuts through you.
Vicious cold strips flesh away.
A prize for the storm.
Inspiration from how it felt being outside with the -3 degree Fahrenheit temperature this morning.

Windows are frosted;
winter storm raging outside.
Watching from the warmth.

Slowly progressing,
through the treacherous blizzard,
clutching to dear life.

Despite it’s gorgeous landscape, this type of weather makes it not worth living in Northern Utah. Hopefully it doesn’t snow in Vancouver, WA as often. Hoping to be living out there in a couple years. I’ll take the rain over this garbage anytime!

A clammy cold waits,
beyond the warmth, it beckons;
the offer declined.

A little description on the weather outside today where I live:
Overwhelmingly,
icy wind engulfs the land,
turning it frozen.
