It is, and our days are getting longer all the time. Sunset was at 8:20 yesterday and sunrise at 7. Soon I’ll be complaining about the midnight sun … Reply
Ground Penetrating Radar. That way, they can find out the exact thickness of the ice and how much weight it can bare. Cheers. Reply
Hahaha. 😀 Nope. The old way was to drill lots of holes and measure the ice thickness. You need 43 cm (17 inches) for vehicles and 61 (24 inches) for aircraft. We have an active ice runway in Yellowknife as well. Cheers. Reply
Thank you. This type of view is a theme in my photos. A road disappearing into the vanishing point has always piqued my curiosity. Reply
I think the fact that everything is, literally, frozen heightens that sense of timelessness – the world somehow hangs suspended Reply
It does. The only other time I have felt such a sense of timelessness or suspension was in the Sahara Desert some years back. Reply

Thanks for that. Sounds better than a stethoscope and a tuning fork.

Great exercise in perspective.

Stuart has a lot of that!
Yes, he does. 🙂
stunning! a moment hangs frozen in space & time
Thank you, Penny. 🙂 Those northern views certainly evoke a sense of timelessness.

Looks beautiful. Goodbye sun, goodbye winter.
