Nighttime winter scene in Fairbanks, Alaska. A snow-covered road with deep tire tracks runs straight into the distance. Beyond the road, bright city lights create numerous tall, vertical light pillars rising into the dark sky. The pillars vary in brightness and height, forming pale white and bluish columns above the horizon beneath a low cloud layer.

Light pillars above an industrial area in Fairbanks, Alaska at night. A long, low industrial building sits in the foreground behind a chain-link fence, surrounded by snow. Numerous vertical light pillars rise from bright lights around the buildings, forming white and faintly colored columns against a dark blue sky. A single brighter pillar stands out on the left side of the frame.

A winter night scene showing tall, narrow light pillars rising above a dark treeline in Fairbanks, Alaska. The pillars are evenly spaced and pale white, stretching upward into a cloudy sky. In the foreground, power lines and a utility pole cut diagonally across the frame, with frozen grasses and low shrubs visible at ground level.

Vertical light pillars above a snowy landscape in Fairbanks, Alaska at night. A bright orange light source near the ground produces a vivid orange pillar extending upward, surrounded by multiple white and bluish pillars from nearby lights. Leafless shrubs and small trees appear in silhouette in the foreground, with snowbanks and a low ridge separating the viewer from the lights.
