One of the hallmarks of light here at certain times of of the year is the entire horizon is rimed with pink. Three days until the Sun returns. #Nunavut #Arctic

On my way out to go to the tank farm (gas station for you who don’t live in the Arctic) and something stopped me in my tracks. #Nunavut #photography #LandscapePhotography

Dagger

The card in my camera ended up corrupted and I spent the better part of tonight recovering photos I took of tonight’s amazing moon.

So, this was released today. My third stamp with Canada Post. Qarlinngua (The pants). And technically my second stamp with a family member in it, as the tiny figure in it is my son Travis. Now for one with Hilary in it.

I’ve very proud of all of these, beyond the cache. They are about my home, and family. And also my family has a long history with the Post Office, 101 years. My grandfather, father, and brother were all postmasters in Roblin. #Nunavut #Arctic #Stamps #philately #CanadaPost

Hello moon. Early afternoon sky. #Nunavut #photography #LandscapePhotography

Quite the moon yesterday evening. #Nunavut #Arctic

Not much of a display last night but I finally got the gear out for some time lapse. #Nunavut #Arctic #Aurora

A time lapse of a starry night. The camera pans to the right and follows the stars as they sweep across the sky. A small amount of aurora appear twice in the clip.

The light this morning was sublime. #Nunavut #Arctic

Night time, below -37C. This is my home. #Nunavut #Arctic #photography #cold #astroPhotography

Last one. For now. A dog team heads out Adams Sound into the teeth of a storm. The landscape fades into the drifting snow. #Nunavut #Arctic #cold #landscapePhotography photography

May 5th is #RedDressDay, a day to drive home awareness and action on the ongoing tragedy of #MMIWG2S. If you are unfamiliar with this read the AFN and the Inuit National Action Plans for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and 2 Spirit.

Spellbound. The moon rise at the cabin was sublime tonight. #nunavut #arctic #CabinLife

Tomorrow is the last day of Sun in town. (Technically another week but because of the topography we last see it Nov 5). Sun down all during this cabin trip. #Nunavut #Arctic #CabinLife

Last one for #SuperbOwl Sunday. Owls (and other Arctic Predators, avian and mammal) use rises and hummocks to scan for prey, using the same spots year after year. Their waste and remains of prey fertilize the spot and the plants grow taller there than the surrounding tundra. Here a juvenile Snowy peers at me from such a spot. #Nunavut #Arctic #WildlifePhotography #Birding

In an ATV trip to Innaaluup Nuvua last summer we stopped at the top of this magnificent valley above Innaarulaalikuluk and Admiralty Inlet. #Nunavut #Arctic #LandscapePhotography

Nunavut became a territory 25 years ago today. I’m grateful to Inuit who had the vision and the will to see this happen, to those who continue to work for this land, and especially those who make my home a special place to live. #Nunavut #Arctic

Life is a highway. Unreal smooth travelling on the ice past the Saint George’s Society Cliffs. #Nunavut #Arctic

11:30pm. Arctic Bay will not have dark until later in August. #Nunavut #Arctic

I don’t have dark skies anymore, but if you do, and have clear skies, keep an eye on the night this weekend. A G3/G4 solar storm is predicted this weekend. That could spark Aurora all the way down to the southern US.

At last it’s time for #SuperbOwl Sunday. Here is a juvenile Snowy Owl takes off. #Nunavut #arctic #WildlifePhotography #Birding

I know many of you wankers in Alberta deserve that shit show of a government you elected but trans kids definitely do not.
