Last one for #SuperbOwl Sunday. Owls (and other Arctic Predators, avian and mammal) use rises and hummocks to scan for prey, using the same spots year after year. Their waste and remains of prey fertilize the spot and the plants grow taller there than the surrounding tundra. Here a juvenile Snowy peers at me from such a spot. #Nunavut #Arctic #WildlifePhotography #Birding

A juvenile Snowy Owl looks at me from a spot on the tundra. Taller reddish orange grasses grow in the spot and fall coloured red Prickly Saxifrage. The owl has intense yellow eyes with large black pupils and is mottled brown and white.

Throwback to summer. I’ve applied for some funding to upgrade my drone so here’s a shot with my Mavic 2 Pro. A panorama of Qajuutinnguaq down Adams Sound from home. #Nunavut #Arctic #LandscapePhotography #Drone

A river runs through a high valley of tundra. It then goes over two sets of falls before flowing into a calm blue fjord. Blue skies with high white clouds.

In an ATV trip to Innaaluup Nuvua last summer we stopped at the top of this magnificent valley above Innaarulaalikuluk and Admiralty Inlet. #Nunavut #Arctic #LandscapePhotography

A panorama from a top of a wide sweeping valley that leads down to the Arctic Ocean. The sides of the valley are fluted with gullies and richly coloured in browns and greens. Some snow remains a long the edges of the valley. The blue sky is dotted with small clouds and the low Sun casts a golden glow along the horizon. Ice remains on the ocean.

In the words of John K. Samson “a darker grey breaking through a lighter one.” #CabinLife #Nunavut

Sanity landscape surrounds the dark cold grey of a bay on the Arctic Ocean. The sky is heavily overcast and the sky nearest the horizon is very dark.

We’re a little more than a week away from the Sun setting for the next three months. November 6th.

#nunavut.

The Sun, low on the horizon at noon, casts a golden light through a break in the clouds. The calm ocean is painted gold by that light. Crepuscular rays can be seen over a black volcanic point.

The dark isn’t so bad. 6 pm. #nunavut

A look across the bay from town. King George mountain glows, the top nebulous in thin clouds. Lights of the industrial area on shore reflects in the calm waters of the bay.

Yeah, sunrises this time of year aren’t too shabby. In a couple of days sunrises and sunsets will be one and the same. #Nunavut

Sunrise. The hills along the fjord and across the bay are in silhouette. The sky is filled with colour, yellows, oranges, pinks, mauves, purples, greys and blues. The calm water of the bay reflects the colours of the sky.

My little town. #Nunavut

A mostly full moon scatters its light among the clouds. Below it a ring of hills hold a small lit town in their arms. The lights of town reflected in the water and ice of the bay.

Was headed to the hardware supply for a piece of trim. Paused to take in the sky and ice. #nunavut

Looking out on the bay. Jumbled ice on the edge and smooth ice beyond reflecting the sky of pinks, oranges, yellows and blue.

We had some fireworks left over from New Years. So after work, painting sills and jambs, and a wonderful family supper at the in-laws’ cabin, we set them off. #CabinLife #Nunavut

Fireworks burst over a lit up cabin on snowy tundra.
