A glimpse of the sunrise this morning, looking out the kitchen window past the snow hill created by the bulldozer that sometimes clears our road. This week, the sun came up above the horizon for the first time since November. The skies have been amazing. I was interested in what the clouds were doing.
Here's an afternoon moonrise a couple weeks ago over the Arctic ocean. This is a bowhead whale skull.
Oh my goodness...I think I'd cry at the first sunrise since November! :) I miss the sun even when it's cloudy for just one week.
Thanks for the 2 very cool and very beautiful photos!

Talk about shades of white! Fascinating scenery, and sunglass territory if I ever saw it ... (although probably more so during the summer).

Hi there!
Robert, yes it is alot of white! Sunglass season is upon us, in fact we all got ours out the day the sun came back. The sun reflects off all the snow and is nearly blinding. Probably similar to the white sandy beaches and ocean in Florida! No trees or mountains or tall buildings to block the brightness. The eskimos would carve sunglasses out of wood or bone or ivory- cutting very small slits in the eye part to see out of...sunglasses of some sort are definately a requirement in spring before the snow melts.
