Night Photography nominee

On this remote lake in Alaska sits a trapper cabin from the early days of Alaska history. One of three cabins along that follows an old trap line along the outlet river of the lake. The trapper made a living trading furs in Anchorage and would mush from cabin to cabin checking his trap line with temps dropping to 40 below zero. A tough way to make a living but that's what make Alaska special.
