Green Aurora Over Russian Birch Forest Ridge in from a ridge above layered foothills in Russia

Green Aurora Over Russian Birch Forest Ridge

by Melinda Webb

Hard coastal glare illuminates a snow-draped birch forest clinging to a steep ridge in late afternoon winter light. Pale green bands of the aurora stretch horizontally across a sky heavy with low, grey clouds, hovering just above the white canopy. The birch trunks stand as stark vertical lines against the muted snow, their dark bark contrasting sharply with the bright ground. Layers of foothills recede into the distance, each ridge fading into a softer blue haze that separates the foreground trees from the deep horizon. The snow surface holds a crisp texture, untouched and flat, reflecting the pale sky above. A thin shadow from a solitary tree falls across the drift in the immediate foreground, anchoring the vast, still landscape.
