I flew back from Calgary on Thursday afternoon. I love travelling, but here’s never enough time in my life right now – not enough time for visits, not enough time at home. That’s going to change in about 6 weeks, though. A final look out my daughter’s front window...

I’m in Calgary at the moment. I flew down on Tuesday, had one full day to explore, and am flying home this afternoon. This wasn’t an optional trip – I lost my passport somewhere in Alaska on my last trip, and need to get it replaced right away. Everything...

One of my nieces has just moved to Whitehorse, and yesterday we took her to see Skagway and Dyea. Despite a mediocre weather forecast, it turned out to be quite good, and it no doubt would have been a good day whatever the weather turned out to be. Our...

We have a long list of projects that need to be taken care, but with this amazing weather, we’re mostly just goofing off for the 4-day weekend instead 🙂 Yesterday, we went on a swan hunt and ended up in Dyea. We drove the Tagish loop to go by...

I’m trying hard to slow down when I travel but so often that just isn’t possible. I have two options – to see something quickly and superficially, or to not see it at all. I was up 2 hours before the 08:34 sunrise on Wednesday in order to maximize...

I’m back home in Whitehorse now, but would like to show you the past few days in southern Alberta and British columbia, including a particularly wonderful 24 hours in the Rockies. Last Monday I went into Calgary with my daughter, to drop my grand-daughters off at school. This was...

I’m now on Day 5 of a trip to see family members in southern British Columbia and Alberta. I haven’t taken very many photos (185 so far, 70 of them in a single car museum 🙂 ) but I’ll show you some of the places I’ve been. This was...

The weather forecast for the next few days wasn’t great, so Friday seemed like the best day to go to Skagway. On the way down we stopped to see our cabin at Carcross and lucked into being on the deck there when the train to Skagway departed. The “must-do”...

Whitehorse is a great town to be a tourist in. As well as having spectacular wilderness not only at our back door but within the city boundaries, we have a large number of really high quality man-made attractions. We had company from southern British Columbia last week (one of...

The pain never really does go away, does it? I was just going through my photos looking for some commercial submissions and found a photo of Kodi, taken at the Pennington section house on Lake Bennett back in August 2003. He had, as he did so often, gone on...
