For the past year or so, Canadian Geographic magazine has been asking people to help them choose the cover of the next issue. The image below shows the current option. I chose the middle one – it’s dynamic and I like the clean, contrasting background that emphasizes the action....

Although Winter Solstice has passed so we’re getting more and more light each day, January is the month that usually brings the coldest temperatures, so I’m not going to get too cocky yet about having an easy winter. The weather so far this year has been incredibly erratic, but...

Merry Christmas to all of my friends and readers around the world. I hope that you have a wonderful day surrounded by people you love....

It’s been just over a month since my last post and I was having a bit of a blog-withdrawal issue, so I’m back. The reason that I was away for so long was simply that I didn’t have much to say. I’ve just been working, the weather’s been blah,...

For the past 3 days, everyone in Whitehorse is talking about the weather. On Wednesday we got one of the wilder storms I’ve seen in my 22 years in the Yukon. This is what the deck looked like at 11:00 am on Wednesday – the Xmas decorations didn’t fare...

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...

I decided on Wednesday that the weather forecast was good enough to drive to another season for the day – I’ve already had enough of Winter, and it was a fairly safe bet that Fall was only a couple of hours away. The cloud bank and morning light produced...
