This photograph was taken on a stormy spring day as the crisp winds blew across the snowy peaks outside Upernavik, Greenland. Locals considered the balmy -30°C temperature a warm March evening, so they scampered to run errands under the setting sun. Photographer Weimin Chu had settled on a slope near the airport with views of colorful homes.
Weimin Chu hoped to capture a person strolling or children playing in the landscape and he was excited to see a small family making their way under the streetlights instead. Working with the precision in low-light, he captured the image he had in his vision and won the grand prize in the 2019 National Geographic Travel Photo Contest.
