After 3 more weeks work at the camp, the time has come to head back to pastures green. Temperatures are dropping into the low -20's, the sun gets closer and closer to the horizon each day and the atmosphere about camp is one of finishing up and moving on. Everything needs some work or other to prepare it to be left for 7 months over the winter.
The change in light and drop in temperature mean that the skies are more beautiful than ever, and also that we get some interesting atmospheric conditions - sun halos, icebows (like a rainbow but through ice crystals) and beautiful pinks in the evening skies. Looking forward to getting back to some greenery and time for a holiday!
