Dog Sledding Under the Northern Lights
The reverse design by Claudio D’Angelo features a dog sled team riding out in the Canadian wilderness beneath the aurora borealis on acold winter night. Nature’s silent hold on the wintry landscapeis temporarily disrupted by the arrival of a dog sledding team, whichinfuses the cold air with barking and an infectious, almost boundlessenergy. Working in tandem, these four-harnessed dogs merrily make their way along the path, pulling the sled and their driver (musher) behind them at a moderate pace across the wintry landscape. Viewed from a lower vantage point that places the focus on the lead dogs, the huskies seemingly smile as they race under a starry sky. The musher is bundled up and well equipped for the journey on this clear night. There is no race here — just him and the solitude of the great outdoors, while the greenish hue of the aurora borealis dances overhead in the blue-black sky. It’s the Great White North at its grandest!
