I love mornings like this.
The sky above is still inky black, and dotted with the twinkling pinpoints of the stars. Hanging high in the southern sky the bright jewel of Venus. Night, and yet the horizon is glowing with the light from the hidden sun, the dark indigo fading to a grey blue tinged with amber.
The light from the still retreating sun reveals KIng George and the rest of our rugged horizon, silhouetting them against that starry background. Out on the ice a team of dogs howls. A pair of Ravens speeds by, the sound of their wings in the surprisingly warm air like the nylon windpants of a swift walker.
There is no other place in the world like this, no other moment like this one.
