I've gotten a lot of really good hawk pictures recently, but I really like this one.

In Fairbanks in the dead of winter, when the days were only 4 hours long, I would often ski through the woods at night. I was surrounded by snow-burdened black spruce, silence, glittering stars, and bitter cold. Every chance encounter with the aurora overhead was unexpected and dumbfounding. They swirled across the sky like curtains in a breeze, contorting and sweeping, powerful and expansive, yet impossibly soundless.
