Ah... a few images from Sept that got waylaid by unforeseen events. These will be in reverse chronology starting with a day out by Campbell Lake for a hot dog roast at the Gwichin Campsite / boat launch out at the territorial park. Strange to think that there is wood around for camp fires but the Delta is full of trees. The lake like everything else this year was exhibiting drastically low water levels, so much so that few if any barges actually made it down the Mackenzie to the Delta communities. While it is easy to ascribe the water levels to global and certainly that is a significant factor, the lack of water is not without precedent. It is eerie though.
Later that day I was up above the crag I have developed for mixed and rock climbing, some nice boulders, some have bouldering potential but not great landings. The lichen had already started to turn white on in the bush, which is on a terrace between the good rock and the crappy stuff.

Nov 7, 2013 Aurora over the Aurora Campus of Aurora College
First very nice Aurora Borealis of the season last night. I took some quick pix about midnight. Shots from the campground in town and the College, Aurora over Aurora Campus ha ha. Some of the pix in the campground have shades of pink and purple above the green V, which is nice to see ( Yes, I know that reciprocity failure presents that colour scheme, and Google is trying to draw data out of the blacks again (!!!) but it's in the original RAW file). Intense display courtesy the Van Allen Belts but short lived this time around.
