Last year I skipped on making a calendar because of lack of time and a few health issues that took priority. I promised many people that I would have one ready for next year, and I’m proud to say that my 2022 wall calendar is ready!
I’m printing and taking orders through Lulu this year, making the calendar almost $10 cheaper than it was in previous years! If you happen to live in Fairbanks, send me a message at lee@lwpetersen.com to save shipping costs (I’ll probably do a large local order for September or October delivery). The calendar is 8.5″x11″ and spiral bound with a hole for hanging. These calendars make great Christmas gifts and the money goes directly toward purchasing photography equipment and website costs! I am very grateful for everyone that contributes this way!
Below are the uncropped monthly photos with descriptions.

March | Winters in the interior are marked by long, cold nights. When the sun finally rises, it’s only up for a few hours and never very high on the horizon. But, we get to see some spectacular and long sunrises and sunsets. Here the sun nears the horizon at almost 9:30 am, making for some wonderful colors over a boreal spruce forest in Fairbanks, Alaska.

Taken in late April at Angel Rocks in the Chena River State Recreation Area, Alaska, there’s still sunlight on the horizon after 1 am while the sky erupts in green and pink northern lights.
