Back like Bison

These animals were standing beside the road about an hour outside of Yellowknife in the middle of November. The photo was made in the middle of a morning spent looking for an unexpectedly hard-to-find dog mushing competition.



It was so hard to find that I never did make it and ended up pulling over on the side of the road to shoot, among other things, a frozen self-portrait of me in my new wolf-fur hooded parka from Nunavut. (see below)

Since I last posted anything on Arctic Comment, it's been the sort of while that's added up to nearly a year. But a few things have happened to renew my interest in this project. As before, I'll try to stick to opinion and interesting video/images which relate at least indirectly to Canada's North. I'm also going to avoid posting personal drivel about things like my cat, although he's incredibly cute. Any personal items posted will hopefully be the type of great stories that will help illustrate something about the North. Any feedback or constructive criticism will be gratefully accepted. Here's to what's to come.

Until I get posting full swing, I'll wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I do so not because I'm a Christian, but because it's still socially acceptable to do so in the North.
