The light in Fairbanks around the winter solstice.

It’s cold, dark, and some days it’s hard to get moving at all. Some winters are harder than others, and I don’t always know why. What I do know is that getting outside helps.

Even on the shortest days, there’s a brief stretch of low sun, long shadows, and quiet color. It’s subtle, short-lived, and always worth stepping out for.

Winter Solstice Light

A low winter sun sets behind snow-covered spruce trees in Fairbanks, Alaska, shortly after the winter solstice. Warm orange and gold light fills the sky, contrasting with the dark silhouettes of the boreal forest on the shortest day of the year.
Snow-covered spruce trees stand in silhouette against a glowing winter sky in Fairbanks, Alaska. Deep orange and gold light from a very low sun fills the horizon, fading upward into muted purples and blue-gray clouds. The dark foreground emphasizes the contrast between the boreal forest and the brief, warm light of midwinter.
