    Approaching Polar Night

    Time flies, it has been in dark, cloudy and chilly winter for some time, on yesterday TV program, Cambridge Bay was displayed unexpectedly on the national forecast map due to its highest rank: the lowest temperature -24C in Canada. Actually the temperature here has hung around -25 some time, plus chilling factor, feeling temperature was usually around -40C, and along with dropping mercury,  daytime hours is vanishing at a rate which southerner hardly imagine. Daytime is 5 hrs today, but it will disappear in exactly one month. Having been stranded in this kind of weather for a while, I started missing sunny Prairie, its colors, no matter natural or artificial, at least they can light up my space.

    to Eddie, Yes internet is lifeline for me, it is reliable year round by satellite though the connection speed can't compare to those in mainland, otherwise i could not survive in winter season. i visited Nuvavik, norther QC this past fall, tundra was gorgeous!

    Lived in southern Quebec where temps sometimes dipped to 50 C below. ...cloudy every day for months but there was light. No internet back then. Do you at least have dependable and regular internet service all year especially through the winter?

    Only five hours of daytime? That means you can sit there and count the starts most of the day, haha! ^_^ I wonder how people survive in the cold weather while still keep an upbeat spirit...alcohol would definitely help! Love the warm lighting in the bar.

    PS: BTW, wide aperture lens are not that pricey, and very easy to get these days. 50/f1.8 is only about $120, and Tamron's 17-50 is around $400. Both are great for indoor shootings.
