An abandoned highway in northern Alaska, near the Arctic Circle. Methodically dodging potholes, dust billowing behind our tires, the first few raindrops of the coming storm scattering across the windshield. Living in the back of a truck and driving thousands of miles across the continent in search of adventure will teach you many things. One is to appreciate the glory found in freedom. The glory of simplicity.

The glory of beauty.

We watched storm and sunlight battle for control of the skies. For a lifetime we watched through the windows as the clouds swirled erratically and the trees bowed to the violent wind. We talked about our life together and the future we imagined for ourselves. Suddenly, a ceasefire swept across the valley. A brilliant rainbow. The moment lasted like a whisper but for us, wide-eyed and smiling through the heavy rain, it could have been infinite.

This piece comes with a companion photo, "Ceasefire", that will be transferred to the first collector.
