Shadowy trees on a shadowy planet

Deep in the snowy valley

Not so long ago, the ground was frozen, covered in white, the bare tree branches whistling as the winter wind blew through them unimpeded.

The setting sun cast long shadows through the empty valley, painting stark lines in the deep snow under the brilliant blue sky.

Weeks of rising temperatures have since redrawn the landscape, so I’m sharing this now because I never want to forget what it felt like to stand above it all and breathe it in.

Stories get told in milliseconds, then vanish. Photos keep them alive in our memories for just a little while longer.
