Lights

OK - I'm still learning a few tricks with my camera and I have not photo shopped these at all but here are the best ones from Saturday night. We really did not score the Northern Lights at their best - they only 'danced' for a small amount of time and were mainly like giant green rainbows across the sky - still one of the most amazing natural things I have seen.

Yukon

It's late and I can't be bothered writing much so the photos will have to do.

We drove down this road:

And parked in this spot for about 2 hours with the car resting on the snow just letting the wheels spin free like the spirits they are...(yes it is dark in the shot below but my new camera does some cool things with long exposures). I probably should have been helping dig and not wasting time setting up a tripod and camera...sorry Corey - you did a great job digging mate.



The car was pretty big:


Corey did all the driving:


We went dog sledding - my dogs were pretty cool but this one had the best eyes. My dogs were a bit naughty and one of them chewed through the ropes holding the other dogs before we even left the base...I suddenly had some very excited dogs running sans sled.


The car was pretty big:


The rivers were starting to flow again after the winter:



They brew really good beer up there:


This boat is famous:


This dog was called Panda:

Just more teasing before the Northern Lights photos...

Yukon

I spent the weekend in the Yukon, its big and cold and a place of great adventure.

Stories and photos and come...dog sledding, cars stuck in snow drifts and an amazing 1 hour Northern Lights display - if you have never seen these things get up here and check them out. They are out of this world!!
