One year ago today, I was saying goodbye to Pond Inlet on Baffin Island after too short a stay, and heading south to Ottawa with a brief stop in Iqualuit. It was the end to an amazing trip that I was exceptionally privileged to have taken. #Nunavut #OpNanook22

For #OpNanook22, #HMCSMargaretBrooke embarked a combined Canadian/US medical team who participated in the exercise. One year ago today, they were dropped off in Iqualuit to fly home. #warshipsifr #militaryphotography #militarymedics

One year ago today, I was using the ships and aircraft of #OpNanook22 to add foreground interest to my #landscape photos of #SaglekFjord. A day I hope I never forget! #labrador #landscapephotography #shipphotography #aviationphotography

One year ago, I was climbing into a zodiac at sea and going for a tour of #HDMSTriton during #OpNanook22. The Danes were exceptionally good hosts during our visit before returning us to #HMCSMargaretBrooke. #navyphotography #shipphotography #maritimephotography #royalcanadiannavy #royaldanishnavy

The March 2023 issue of #WarshipsIFR magazine is now on the shelf at #AtlanticNews in Halifax, with the fourth (and final) part of my piece on being embedded in #HMCSMargaretBrooke during the #RoyalCanadianNavy-led #OpNanook22. Iain Ballantyne was kind enough to put one of my images, of the ships leaving Saglek Fjord in Labrador, on the cover of this issue. If you are interested, check it out! #navy #writing #photography

“…and a star to steer by…” It was very interesting to see that the sextant it still in use in the @royalcannavy as a backup to all the modern navigation technology. @hmcs.ncsm.margaretbrooke #navy #navyphotography #navigation #technology #OpNanook22

More photos taken in the fog off Newfoundland featuring #HMCSMargaretBrooke, #HMCSGooseBay, #HDMSTriton, and one of our small boats. Fortunately, sea states were not too bad. #navyphotography #navy #ship #shipphotography #nautical #fog #OpNanook22 #sea

Some of #HMCSMargaretBrooke’s crew prior to and during departure from Halifax last August. They included not just #RoyalCanadianNavy but also Belgian and Japanese sailors plus a combined US and Canadian medical team. #OpNanook22 #military #personnel #crew #team #navyphotography
