Finding meaning in the darkness

Lenticular Cloud Over Mount Rainier at Night, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington

My goal with any time in nature — as it is with my photography — is to get closer to the world around me. To make connections. To see something I never noticed before.

Here in the northern hemisphere, we’re now in the midst of our longest nights of the year. While some bemoan perpetual darkness — where I am nearly two-thirds of the day is night — I’m finding myself staying out late more often.
