I made the best of my one day off this week, minus the wind (70km/h) it was a beautiful day out. Enjoy!

Doing the tourist thing at Emerald Lake:







The Tikko dog on his first canoe trip:

That was the first time ever driving on a beach for me, I thoroughly enjoyed it. There was a couple guys windsurfing on the lake, would have been an awesome day to do it, as the wind was just howling.

 

Where do you live?

Yukon, Canada
It says right under my avatar.

 

True! Sorry about that! That is one nice looking place!

Tikko got wet? Right there, that shows the difference between a Canadian bloodline Finnish Spitz and a double-Finn bloodline FS (my Bristol). My boy would've flipped the canoe somehow scrambling in panic of the water. Then again, he doesn't care much for car travel, so I have to sedate him slightly with Rescue Remedy herb drops before any trip over 10 minutes.

Anyway, beautiful photos of a pristine place, and nice video with your's being the only tire tracks. Thanks for the eye candy!

 

I know!
I swore he would freak out and cry to get out, but he actually hopped right in and sat there fairly calm. He got a little antsy at times, but he was VERY well behaved.

We had to cross a little fiord on foot, and he went to walk across it like the water was shallow, I saw him suddenly drop right under the water and panick to get back on shore.

He looked like a drowned rat afterwards

 

hey, that looks like a lot of fun ...

 

Absolutely gorgeous! Great pics! It is soooo cool to see a canoe perched on top of a 4runner. That shot of the dog in the canoe is somethin' else

 

I thought the canoe looked pretty damn good up there
Thanks for the compliments guys (and gal).

 

Damn, as usual you have some beeeautiful pictures! it truly is amazing up there. What camera do you have. You have to have a great one, its one of those cameras that makes EVERY picture look good. I love those...

 

It's actually a not so hot camera, a Nikon Coolpix SQ. I mostly bought it because it's insanely small. I can fit it into my shirt pocket and forget about it. That feature came in handy, as I had the camera in one shirt pocket, and my GPS in the other. You can canoe and take photos and not have to fumble around with alot of bulky junk.

That's for the location compliments There isn't anywhere I would rather be than here in the Summertime, it's amazing here. The winter is a different story however. Grrr.

 

That's a neat looking canoe -- little rocker, medium freeboard, no tumblehome, looks like 18+ feet. Designed for wilderness tripping? Does your roof rack setup work well with that length canoe?

 

holy old thread revival!

 

No kidding!

 

dont get me wrong, the pics are sweet... but wow..

 

Holy old thread Batman.
I don't remember the specs on the canoe, but it worked well on the rack anyhow

 

those pictures are amazing....steve ive seen your other work, as i always pick one of your pictures as my background....

keep up the picture taking like, forever...or else ill run out of wallpapers!

 

My digital fell from a height, so now all I have to work with is my 35mm.
No scanner (or computer) anymore. I'll be out of commission for awhile yet.

 

im sure youve been asked this before....but do you by chance do photography for a living, or is it just a hobby you love? because it seems like every picture i see of yours is just perfect.

 

ALWAYS good photos. BTW, were/are those 32/11.50s in the photos? They look ab-so-lute-ly perfect.
