Busy Day
Photo taken over Christmas during the candy toss at the Northern Store in Cape Dorset. This is just before the employees come out with the candy. Most of the community was there.

Lonely Travel
Two snowmobiles returning to Iqaluit from being on the land.
The lights are kilometres away. I was using my Olympus 300mm (600mm film equivalent) at max zoom and no photo cropping to get the photo above.

Helicopter
Helicopter over Iqaluit
A photo just before going down to have supper. Haven't seen the menu yet but I got a feeling it will be the Danish Back Ribs tonight. Yummy!
Travelling Man
I'm still travelling and won't be back until Thursday. I do have my gear with me and will be trying to post while I'm gone. There are many distractions while on the road and by the time I make it back to my hotel room I don't feel like blogging. I will try to change that on this trip.

Go Canada!
I'm on the road for the next five days and didn't have time to do a beard update today so instead you get a photo of the Canadian flag that has been sitting on my desk since I got here. I don't watch much of the Olympics but I do enjoy the Skeleton competitions and the Olympic hockey. So like the title says....!Go Canada!

More Cute Pets
In keeping with the cute animal theme I've had going the last couple of weeks here are some photos of Tiki the dog. I've known Tiki since he was a little pup and even had the chance to own him but with three cats it wasn't going to happen. The owners live in the apartment next to my parents and every lunch I pat and play with him. He gets excited when he sees me and will even try to block me from getting up the steps until I've given the required attention.
What are you doing? What's that thing in your hands?
Why aren't you patting me!
:o(
How can you not love a face like that. LOL

The Sun Show
This is always my favourite time of the year in the North because the Sun is at the perfect height throughout the day to create the displays in the photo below. This photo was taken at around 1:15 pm today as the sun was skirting along the horizon behind Nipple Mountain. There was an incredible show this morning but by the time I got the snowmobile running, myself dressed and the camera up and running I had missed the sight. Maybe tomorrow I might get lucky. More to hopefully come.
