Occassoinally in Alaska our daylight sky holds a sort of phenomenon that I've seemed to find rare in other parts of the world. Our sun and our moon share one sky. For with the sun staying low on the horizon in the winter months, it gives way a great amount of darkness that allows the moon to also shine. When the moon is on the proper side of the earth and the sun is held low to the ground, for the mere six hours that the sun is evident the moon will also shine. In one direction daylight, in one direction midnight. When standing beside a grove of trees one can see the reflection of the sun on the frost covered branches, and in the distance the moon still holding high and bright in the sky. It's a whimsical sight that truly brings everything into wonder. The unison of opposites. Intrigueing in the most astrological of ways.
