Lake Athabasca Lights Size:12 x 18 where winter and sunrise meet

where winter and sunrise meet in stillness

snow-capped peaks glisten in the morning light

so far south

where the light fades slowly and the mountains feel steady and familiar

Surfers glide through the waves

Lake Athabasca Lights Size:12 x 18 where winter and sunrise meetUnder the vast northern skies at Lake Athabasca, Canada, this photo showcases the mesmerizing dance of the northern lights. The auroras soft greens and purples ripple across the star filled sky, creating a hypnotic display of natural beauty. This far north I was very far from city lights and the wilderness amplified the auroras glow, offering a rare glimpse into the cosmic energies at play.
