Days are getting longer but the mid-winter pastels are still going strong. 9:40AM moonset in Whitehorse last week:

It’s easier to get here than you might think! Flights are cheap, frequent, and reliable. Driving is long but the journey is mind-blowing. And the biking is world-class!

Let’s start the Bluesky era with a blue“sky“ image. Happy to celebrate an alternative to the social media world. Let’s make this one successful!

When an inversion fills the Yukon River valley with fog, you have to find higher ground above Whitehorse to see the aurora.

Was just starting to get used to my kids being asleep by 8. Might have to invest in a 3rd layer of blackouts this summer…

Learn what royalties are collected on mining | Yukon.ca Royalties on mining. How the government collects royalties. Mineral resource extraction. Determine value of minerals. Private profit. Public risk. Cost to environment. Mineral rights. Mineral resource...

Per yukon.ca/en/doing-bus...

“How much royalty is collected for placer mines?

The royalty is $0.375 per ounce of gold.

This royalty is calculated at 2.5% of the value of the gold. The value of gold is set in legislation at $15 per ounce.”

That seems outdated 🤔🤦🏻‍♂️

I've been dreaming of shooting wild hockey on Tagish Lake for years, but conditions don't set up. Last winter, Windy Arm lived up to its name and half of the snow got stripped during a mid-winter warm spell. Magic.

Gotta hype it up to stay sane in the dark & cold!

(It helps that it’s not that cold these days)

Thanks Jordan, and likewise. I still think about that running piece you did every time I go for a -20 jog 🥶

This photo was taken at 11:36 AM. Whitehorse is rather far west in out timezone, and we are on permanent daylight savings time, so our mid-day is actually ~2 PM.

Winter sunrises are late, but even on the shortest day of the year, it is still light out at 5 PM.

In the Yukon, we have a few weeks in the depths of winter where the sun never rises higher than 6 degrees above the horizon - golden hour stretches to five-and-a-half, removing the line between sunrise and sunset.

Quality over quantity.

Hello Bluesky! I'm an adventure sports photographer based in Whitehorse, Yukon. I like snowboarding when it's cold, biking when it's not, and lately I've been spending more energy on printing my photos rather than posting them online.
