We really need it

 

Here’s a vinyl copy of Laid Back Sunshine Reggae: There is a stamp that says “please return to CBC Inuvik.”(Also, further irony, a track called Whitehorse.) 

One foggy morning

Interesting layers of trees, as the ice fog rolls in.

I am becoming a morning person :(

 Noisy people were playing country music again this morning.(Note the alarm clock says 4:33am!)I wish I could say the industrial earplugs and headphones worked. After being kept awake a few hours, I thought “well, might as well take a photo of myself trying to sleep…this will be funny in retrospect.” (Perhaps once I move to a quieter building?)

Green lights and ice fog

Here are some northern lights, from the same session as the animation seen earlier.They really fill up the sky sometimes!

Follow the dotted line

 More animal tracks around town.It’s fascinating to think that animals are out there, 24 hours a day, just keeping busy.   

James Bond stuff at North Mart

This is called a snow-bike. It’s like a snowmobile but slimmer, and it costs $6000.Has anyone seen these before? They are sold at the North-Mart here in Inuvik. Not sure if anyone will buy it, because people usually use their machines to haul cargo around here.

Here’s a peaceful scene, with the sun coming through some pine trees.It’s good to be back posting again! 

“No idle threat?” or perhaps… “Canadian Idle?”

 There is a new bylaw being proposed in town. It would limit car idling to 30 minutes or less.It turns out, some spectacularly wasteful people — with diesel trucks mostly — have just been letting their vehicles idle for hours at a time, right downtown.These cars were just keeping warm a couple minutes, between deliveries at the Roost.

You darn kids!!

So the other day I lent my camera around the Youth Centre hoping to generate some content for the Bomber Pages.Instead, the kids took photos of themselves vandalizing the centre.Great. 

Northern lights (wiggling)

Here are some northern lights, moving in the sky around 9pm.
