Waiting for the sky

Northern lights over a quiet landscape

Choose a place with a clear horizon, give your eyes time to adjust and bring enough warmth to wait comfortably. Some evenings become a photograph; others are simply worth remembering.

We keep a record of the sky as it changes through the seasons, from the last blue of a winter afternoon to the faint light that remains above a dark horizon.

Observations on winter light, quiet landscapes and spending more time outside after dark.
