New ice on this pond, decorated around the margins with frost formations on pond plants protruding above the ice, 'flowers'.

Almost directly overhead, the Milky Way dominating the sky as the anemometer for my weather station (Turks on the Tundra) and the trees reach as high as they can to the stars.

A satellite faintly streaks the sky, as well as an iridium satellite flaring in line with the anemometer mast.

I am not sure of the galaxy near the top of the tree on the right (another very faint satellite streak there), only guessing it must be Andromeda.

North is to the bottom of the photo, south to the top. East is at the right, and west is to the left. So the photo might look upside down to some, so please understand I was looking in a generally north direction. There is some light pollution coming to me from the half dozen lights at the intersection of the Tok Cutoff Road and the Alaska Highway.
