Winter Road at Dawn

LAPLAND, LAPLAND, FINLAND

A snow-covered road cuts through the forest under a pink winter sky. The trees hold a heavy frost, their dark trunks pressed back by the light. The surface of the road is tracked and uneven, leading the eye into the distance. A low band of sunrise warms the horizon while the upper sky stays pale and cold. The scene feels remote, quiet, and entirely governed by weather. Captured in Finland during a winter tour en route to Santa Claus Village.
