Hope you like it.

Just resize it in your favourite image editor to the right size for your desktop. I recommend Irfanview for a tiny little free image editor, and have used it for years. It's like a little Photoshop, and it's FREEWARE!

Put the Khukri down, back away slowly...and tell the nice officer what you did with all the trees.

Gee, geez! Looks sorta like Iceland, but with more mud and trees, less volcanoes and lava fields. I work ouutta my house, whic is an extension of the "big room" that we all work in. You must work in the porch of the Big Room!

LMAO Kismet! God took all the trees away. It wasn't my fault; the glaciers did it. That panorama was shot on Sunday at 6pm. As you can see, winter is coming.

Bruise, that is very similar to what I thought when my plane touched down in June of 1994. The tundra was a reddish brown and I thought, "Holy moly, we are landing on mars!".

After a summer of walking around, I found that there was indeed a wealth of life on mars. I have had social interaction (not the 'lovesick fur trapper' kind, mind you;):eek: ) with caribou, muskox, arctic foxes and hares, sik siks and ptarmigans. I fell in love with the stark beauty of the place. I have spent half of the last 8 years of my life there and the awestruck feeling has not diminished.

Bill, the winters can feel awfully confining. I work at a mine with all buildings interconnected with walkways. When it is -74C with the wind chill outside and 24-hour darkness, you do indeed feel like it is another planet entirely.

Ever seen John Carpenter's 'The Thing'? You get the picture...
When I am underground in the dark, it could just as easily be 'Aliens'. :eek:

More pics I took in Nunavut:

I realize this is getting off-topic, but I like to share this kind of stuff so others can feel the same things I do.

Hope you like them.

I really enjoyed all the pictures. In fact I hope that the bookmarks I made will be good for a little while. I want to digest all the little pictures as enlargements at my leisure real soon.

Some of the views remind me of the desert southwest. In some locations anyway. There instead of snow is white or light tan sand. Beautiful.:D
