This river crossing is from my solo hike in the Pöyrisjärvi Wilderness Area last January. These always give me sweaty palms, especially when I'm hiking alone in the winter and dragging a heavy pulka, or in this case, two pulkas behind me. On my recent solo winter hikes, I've been pulling two pulkas, as this allows me to lower the center of gravity on the larger Fjellpulken, making it harder for it to fall over.

Our main stop is Borneo was Sandakan. We usually go to Southeast Asia for the beaches but this trip was more focused on wildlife. So on our first day we went the the nearby Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Center to see the orangutans being fed

This was taken a few months ago when we still had snow on the spruce trees.

Normally in Fairbanks we dont get a lot of snow. The storms that dump snow along the coast and partial interior mountain ranges usually have very little left by the time they reach the interior. What it does give us is cold temps and clear skies, which is perfect for holding the little snow we do get, and having great aurora viewing.

This winter started out normal, but over the past few months we have had consistent warm temperatures and wind, which has removed all the snow from our usually laden trees.

I always am on the lookout for aurora images using terrestrial nature as a foreground, up here that is mainly trees. So when I discovered this little pocket a few meters away from my winter cabin when I moved in, I was ecstatic.

But getting a corona framed directly overhead of this pocket was another thing. Since I’m out on tours most nights, I rarely have time to do any shooting at my house. And usually when I do, I get so caught up in the moment, that by the time I realize it would be a good view from “the spruce pocket”, it’s too late. But on this night I was ready for it and wow what a show. Personally this is one of my favorite images from this winter as it is the culmination of a lot of planning and patience.
