Good Morning, It's currently 15 degrees and clear up top. Strong gust can still be heard racing across the tree tops. We received no precipitation. 24 hour temperature range | High: 38 Low: 15 NOAA 7-Day Forecast -- The wind woke me as it ripped through the tree tops. Feeling restless, I noticed the familiar shimmer of stars against a deep blue canvas of midnight sky. I debated for a moment before deciding to gear up and get outside. It was 4:00AM and I was wide awake, ready for walk around camp. The warm glow of the kerosene lantern cast a soft orange glow around me. The moonless night stared unblinkingly down at the world. Mesmerized, I couldn’t take my eyes off the scene. The cold wind numbed my fingers, they soon began to burn. It was colder than I anticipated. Unable to escape the skies grasps, I fought valiantly. Finally, I was able to blink, breaking the spell of the midnight magic. Smiling to myself, I made for the warmth of the cabin. Onward, Seth "I close my eyes, only for a moment…and the moment’s gone."

Cool photo! I sure would like to know the lighting and settings used, but I know very well a great photographer won't always divulge such secrets, and rightfully so!
