Winter Ritual
I'm not sure what year I started this (it's been more than a few now) but I've made several attempts every year, trying to make a better spiral each time. (usually with plans of coming back at night to light paint the spiral and get a good timelapse of the stars spinning above it, preferably with the north star aligned with the center of the spiral. It looks pretty simple and straight forward, but I've found many struggles in the process. The worst of this particular spiral was the deep snow. I didn't have snow shoes, which made walking much harder, and I over did it this time, going further than I should of, and regretting it for the next few days, as my legs were quite sore, and the sides of my knees had sharp pains while walking, especially going up or down stairs, or any kind of incline/decline. Luckily, this pushed me to find out that the local library has snow shoes that they'll lend out for free.
