Circle of Friends

It is a tradition that a large number of Yellowknife women organize and participate in their own triathlon. It is not a typical triathlon with race officials, spectators, time clocks and fast transitions. The triathlon includes a 20km bike, canoeing and running events. Among other things, what makes this triathlon different is the lunch break – champagne, caviar, fine cheese, and of course the skinny dip in a secret location !. This photo shown some of this years participants at the start of the event. It is not my best panorama, the ladies were anxious to get going and back-light sun in one of the images washed out one of the photos.

Folk on the Rocks

These panoramas are from the Yellowknife Folk on the Rocks (FOTR) music festival, July 17th 2011.

Some people in the crowd might look a bit ‘ghosty’….it is because they moved while I was taking the pictures. Next time I’ll ask everyone to ‘Freeze’ while I take the photos ;>

Old Town Yellowknife

During a lunch break during a beautiful sunny day, I grabbed my camera and panorama pole and ran up MacEvoy Rock in Yellowknife’s Old Town. The view from the top of the hill includes downtown Yellowknife, and great views of both Yellowknife Bay (center part of panorama), and Back Bay.
