Beautiful light after a heavy rainshower at Inuvik airport, some relief after the relentless heat. The orange light in the back is caused by wildfire smoke blown to the north. That day several heat records were broken in NW Canada, for example Norman Wells.

First short #PermaX flight in the books. Testing equipment and flight sequencing and calibration up and down the Tuk Highway and above #Inuvik. Stay tuned.

We drove the #Dempster on that same trip (2008?) -- out to the first ferry -- but didn't see anything there like the millions of gnats along the #Dalton.

I really wanted to see the church at #Inuvik, but it was not to be.

We turned around at the first ferry (unfortunately) because the ferry operators hadn't graded the opposite bank of the river properly. We saw them nearly rip off the rear bumper of an RV coming the other way, by getting it hung up on the bank as it was getting on the ferry.

We pushed it a bit too fast on the way back, and broke the stupidly-weak joint between the cab and cabover -- sheared off every rivet holding the two together. It's a REALLY beautiful drive -- but sometimes you can't see the washboarded areas in time to slow down. So some extra caution is warranted.

I'd love to do it again, especially now that the Dempster goes to the arctic ocean, but #GettingOldSucks.

Day 19 #ArtAdventCalendar! The days are short and cold. But nothing like in Canada’s far north! I had the great honour to visit and work in Yukon, NWT and in Iqaluit, NU a few years ago. This shot is from my one visit to Inuvik, NWT in Feb. 2012. Went down to the ice road to Tuktoyaktuk on the Mackenzie River delta to watch the sunset. It never got a whole lot higher in the sky than this! Our North is precious. And warming 4 times faster than average! #Inuvik #NWT #FarNorrh #naturephotography
