It’s been a while.
Life above the Arctic Circle has been amazing and exhausting at the same time. There has been an abundance of daylight since I arrived in the Brooks Range in June. The days have blended into one long period filled with constant change. After a long winter the reemergence of life seems overwhelming. I almost feel like there is no time to rest. Every week a new set of wildflowers appeared, wilted and went to seeds,. Berries are beginning to ripen, and the end of summer is approaching fast.
I have seen musk ox, caribou, fox, and lynx.
I have climbed mountains, crossed the tundra, and waded through rivers.
Today, is the first time I find the time to post a picture and collect some thoughts.
The picture was taken near Galbraith Lake at one o’clock in the morning.
More to come.
This photo is beautiful. Glad that you are doing well. I always do enjoy reading your posts.
I was wondering a couple days ago how you were doing. So glad to see a post.
Like Tara, I also was thinking of you, but only yesterday, wondering where you had spent the winter.
Beautiful image. Such a rich and stunning landscape. How could anyone not feel uplifted and inspired by the sight.
Looking forward to seeing some more.
A beautiful early morning sunrise, love the colours. Thank you for sharing.
I envy your closeness to nature!
