Sentinels of a Northern Sky

Explanation: Who guards the north?
The featured picture was taken last March in
Finnish Lapland where weather can include sub-freezing temperatures and driving snow.
Surreal landscapes sometimes result, where
white alien-looking sentinels seem to patrol the landscape. In actuality though, the
aliens are snow-covered trees, and the red hut they seem to be guarding is an
outhouse. Far in the distance, behind this uncommon
Earthly vista, is a beautiful
night sky which includes a
green aurora, bright stars, and streaks of
orbiting satellites. Of course, in the spring, the trees thaw and
Lapland looks much
different.
