North Slope

Well, for the last 2.5 weeks I have been bogged down in a new job in Deadhorse, Alaska. This is a few miles from the Arctic ocean on Alaska's North Slope. The jobh takes up most of my time, but there are some photography opportunities. The landscape may seem dull, but ahhhh, the light changes ever so magnificently this far north. My first few photos here depict the sun over a snow field. The visual phenomena is called a light pillar or in this case solar pillar.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_pillar
