I take a deep breath to enjoy this crisp, clean, thin mountain air. It was a long trek up here, and while I came to
paint the aurora, I can't help but stop for a moment after setting up my
tent to rest and relax after such an arduous journey. I have my
tape recorder, not only to record my findings, but also to play some music while I paint the snowy scene ahead of me. My
camp stove is on and cooking me a nice hot stew to help keep me warm. Of course I brought a
lantern for light, as I can't paint an accurate scene without being able to see my canvas!
My clothes are functional and designed to keep me warm and safe from the elements- while also being rather fashionable and bright in case of emergency where I must be found. My
Pullover Jacket and
Knit Pants give the best of both worlds, and my trusty
Trekking Shoes help me walk through the deep snow. My
Pilot's Cap keeps my hair in order while having attached goggles in case of a snow storm. These goggles were also useful during my climb up here, though that didn't save my face from a few nicks, which I
bandaged right up. My
Traveler's Backpack holds everything I need in it, like additional food and supplies on top of what I already have out!
