We are seeing the last of the scenic and sheet-like, frozen, holiday scenes. The cloud cover is low, the grain and moisture of the fog is dense through the atmosphere, meeting the earthbound sphere in which communities dwell. The snow falls at a slant. Energy and picturesque scenes are illustrated throughout all of Alaska, especially with seasonal events. Today, the world reflects the work of an allegorical genre; paintings of winter, long-distance treks through nature. In seclusion, the wild is discovered as an enveloping force in creation. From where I stand, I can see the falling of the Winter Solstice’s dance through the spiraling winds as it is transformed into the portrayal of the season approaching it’s close... (Winter Solstice, for 2018, was at 1:23 pm, Friday, December 21st). One thing which I make a mental note of, as I glance out the window, is the trees as they emphasize 🌲 🌲 🌲 that there is a balance to the currents of snow, wind and air, combined with the weight and density of the element, earth, beneath ... as it is present in it’s melding with air, above.

Approx. 4-5 inches of snow on the ground, and 2-3 inches cover the foliage.
Night turned to day quickly, at around 7:40 am. At 7:48 it was clear, and nearly bright daylight, shortly after my morning observation which was sometime around 5:30 - 6:00 am, at that time - it was still dark as I viewed the surrounding forest.
