The Long Twilight

Known as the Land of the Midnight Sun and for its endless polar nights, the Arctic landscape in Rod Frederick’s “The Long Twilight” is both haunting and dynamic.

“Twilight is a transitional time, coming at both the beginning and end of the day. Between those extreme periods of light and dark, long sunrises and sunsets mark either the coming summer or approaching winter,” says the artist. “This arctic wolf pack stalks a ridge line covered with only a light layer of snow indicating a time of change. Silent and still, just below the ridge, a ptarmigan with a mixed plumage of summer brown and winter white indicates a seasonal transition as well.”
