It’s a mess
The last weeks have been a mess of a lot of kilometres chasing down unstable pockets of clear sky, sometimes to the end of the highway. Some nights have been very late, some nights incredibly lucky - arriving to short lived clear skies just in time to meet breathtaking auroral displays - and other nights not quite so lucky finding ourselves trapped under heavier cloud.
It’s also been a time of navigating the first full moon phase that really felt like a full moon phase. It’s still nothing compared to the full moon of winter nights in a snowy landscape, but it was significantly brighter than the moon of the early autumn.
“It feels good sometimes to take a step back.“
These photos have been sitting in this draft of a blog post for more than a week. I’ve been so uninspired. Burnt out - maybe, and complete exhaustion for sure. But it’s cosy to look back at the photos below, remembering the nights and appreciating them. Even when they were just minutes with a clear break long enough to find the aurora there too, it feels really special. I’m grateful for that and for this life - but sometimes taking a little step back helps me feel that more than feeling buried.
