Another year in Pangnirtung
Well here we are again for another year in the North.
This place really has grabbed Nic and I in a way that we never expected. We have grown to love the place the people and all that the arctic has to offer.
We had a fabulous summer and were lucky enough to see friends all over the country. We did a bit of traveling a little bit of fishing and a whole relaxing. The baby also spent a heck of alot of time with both sets of grandparents. All in all a great time.
On a sad note a very good friend of ours lost his life in Pangnirtung this summer in a freak boating accident. This will certainly leave a hole in many peoples hearts that won't soon be filled. He was a excellent father, a gifted hunter and all round special man. I for one feel lucky to have known him. Rest in Peace Noah Metuq.
Ok so. we have been up to a few things in the short time we have been back and of course as you would expect i have had my camera with me.
Right off the bat i should tell you that we finally broke down and bought an atv this year so now we can do exploring that might have been to far for Nicole and Myself to go.
This first shot is from the end of the road to nowhere that now actually is the road to the quarry, looking back towards town.
the second is from the same night just an hour or so later.
I was lucky enough to get out on Donald's new boat and do some berry picking and just all round nautical fun.

some of you might recognize this place from my winter pictures. This is the Hudson Bay Cabin, One of our winter tea destinations.

a few shots of the new atv and Donald's new Rhino, we took them out for a good long test drive over the tundra... Man was i impressed with our new ride. I think i might be in love
So thats all for now. As usual i will do my best to keep the blog relatively up to date. But i cant make any promises
take care readers and check back in to see what adventures we will get ourselves into this year

Wow! #2 must be one of the best sunset pictures I've ever seen, what a great moment. Beautiful photos- I almost never comment but have been following your photos for a few years. Glad you're still there and still taking them.
