I kinda almost didn't make it out this morning. Well, I say kinda, but there was no way I wasn't getting up for this sunrise. Super tired from staying up looking for northern lights two nights ago, and not really focused on any new goals at the moment, it was hard to push myself out of bed .

I casually fired off a few frames and watched the sky roar red and then slowly fade to blue. On this morning the sun never showed itself, choosing to hide behind incoming snow clouds.
