Brace yourself for annual installment of beautiful photography, the annual National Geographic contest.

Amazing Midwinter Sunset (4:30pm): November 6th, 2013 – at approximately 4:15 pm we were all watching this amazing batman-like beam coming over the dyke on the upstream side of the Yukon River which was just beginning to freeze. I grabbed a camera, made my way over towards the river and discovered this amazing scene. As we are heading towards the shortest day of the year, the sun usually disappears between 4:30-4:45 pm.
