This picture was taken the week Of May 11, 2009 at the North Pole. Something I will never see in person but since it's not on my 'list' all is fine by me. Awesome raw beauty and something nether world about it, I think, as it should be.

Gorgeous... in a goose bumps kind of way.
ReplyDeleteI got close last November - the top of Norway. As a warm-weather person, this stuff isn't normally for me. But I would recommend that you do it once. These kinds of photos are every day experiences for the folks who live up there. Thanks for posting this.

ReplyDeleteNice photo! I love pictures of the sky, and I've never seen a moon that big! Going to the Yukon is on my to do list, that's as close as I'll get to the North Pole I think!

ReplyDeleteNever say never, verily! You might find yourself up there, you could!
