Frozen in time, Yellowknife floating homes scattered throughout the lake. Starry nights and cold clean air make for great night photography.
This is why you fly 3000 miles, 14 hours. 

This is why you stand out in -30 weather, slowly freezing,  your camera turns into an ice cube, and dies. 

I have seen a total eclipse. I have watched dozens of satellites cross the sky at night, I have seen meteors, some that broke apart and turned different colors, I have seen super moons and sun spots and so many things that make the sky a truly amazing thing to look up at. This, this was something that even with my pre-excitement I can't even begin to describe how enchanting it was to witness. I stood there for well over a hour watching the dance of light. At one point the Aurora stretched from horizon to horizon with waves of color dancing from one direction to the other.
