Summer Solstice

D70 50mm

I took this picture at 11:30pm on the night of the summer solstice in Alaska. I could make changes with Photoshop, but these were the colors and light on that night. I went to bed, and then got out of bed at 3:30am to see the sunrise.

This is so beautiful! There is almost transition of emotion from left to right -- dark and lonesome to the left and moving right, the sky offers comfort and hope. It's pretty cool you have captured that in a photograph using one colour!

Lea,

Thanks, but mother nature provided all the color. I thought it was like a different planet. We had just come back from dinner and a show when I looked outside.

Yes, I love the fact that you didn't touch up the colours -- it's genuine!
