northernimages > The warm winds of April melt down the winters accumulation of snow, filling area streams and rivers with refreshing cold water. This picture was taken at Gooseberry Falls State Park, located on the north shore of Lake Superior.

Taken with an infrared camera, normally green trees appear pure white. Since infrared is invisible to our eye, a special sensor in the camera is needed to "see" infrared. This camera blocks all visible light and only sees infrared.

There are not many experiences that compare to a walk along a swollen river on a sunny afternoon in April. The sound of the rushing water, the sweet smell of new cedar, and viewing the beauty of the woods fills the senses and makes us take notice of God's creation in a special way.

Walking down the muddy river bank, new life surrounds you with migrating wildlife, newborn animals and birds, and tips of fresh green plants peaking through the forest floor. All around, the earth seems to be waking up. The experience adds new life to your soul like a cup of coffee to a weary traveler.

Although infrared light is beyond our ability to see, an infrared camera makes it possible. Likewise, though we cannot see God yet, He reveals Himself to us through the beauty of His creation.

Those who live at the ends of the earth stand in awe of Your wonders. From where the sun rises to where it sets, You inspire shouts of joy, Psa 65:8

northernimages > At first glance, this image looks like a typical winter scene. However, this picture was taken using a camera that only sees Infrared Light. It looks at the same light spectrum as your TV remote uses to change channels. This light is invisible to our eyes and is in the electromagnetic spectrum just beyond what we can see.

I remember using IR cameras in the 70's and 80's in military aerial reconnaissance missions to capture the landscape with the greatest possible clarity over a wide range of atmospheric conditions.

Anything green appears white in IR. Flowers are bright, the sky is dark, but clouds are bright. It is an interesting way to view our world. The Hubble telescope uses IR to see parts of the universe that cannot be seen with normal observation.

Although IR does not include any of the colors from the visible light spectrum, such as the blue sky, colors can be added to an IR picture using a special technique. This is called false color, and is added only for artistic expression.

If the invisible infrared light wasn't captured by the camera sensor for this picture, all we would see would be black darkness.

The Bible talks about being able to see the invisible, it's called faith. As surely as the unseen world of infrared exists, so does the spiritual world that God dwells in. Faith gives us new eyes to see a world beyond ourselves, and to believe in the God of the universe.

God created to heavens and the earth to reveal himself to us through our natural eyes, and He gave us the Bible to reveal himself to us through spiritual eyes.

For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith, as it is written, "The just shall live by faith." Rom 1:17
