Interior Alaska

Aurora Road, North of Fairbanks

A winter route built around darkness, roadside snow, and the green pulse of late-night sky.

Interior Alaska

Deep winter

Waiting for the sky to move

North of town, the route becomes a study in patience. Headlights cut through snow dust, engines tick in the cold, and the sky slowly gathers a color that feels almost invented.

The edit keeps the aurora secondary to the experience of waiting — a roadside story about darkness, scale, and the silence between exposures.
