Aurora Crossing
Location: Churchill, Manitoba, Canada
By Robert Burke
Just after midnight on February 20, 2024, the Goddess of the Dawn arrived in all her glory, dancing across the night sky. She entertained us at the railroad crossing just outside of the town of Churchill. My racing heart pumped warm blood throughout my body, and suddenly I didn't mind the frigid conditions of this windy winter sub-Arctic night!
About The Photographer
I am an accomplished photographer, non-professional, and owe much of my ability to self-study and engagement with the professional photographers and other travelers I've met on Lindblad and NatHab trips. Mostly I photograph landscapes, wildlife, and moments that I want to capture during my travels. Since my retirement as a pediatrician, global travel has been a passion for my wife Bonnie and myself. I use my favorite photographs to create a personal photo journey book after each adventure, and to share in travel articles that I write for our local newspaper. Many of these adventures formed the basis for the "Buddy the Globetrotter" tales I have authored as a juvenile fiction series for middle school and advanced readers.
