Sometimes when I'm dragging myself out of bed at 5am I envy the person who gets to sleep in another 45 minutes because they live in town.... and then I see a herd of caribou, a pair of lynx, a moose in my backyard, or this view out my window, and you know what? It's totally worth it.
... And here's the view from the other direction. Photo by Christa Galloway.
