I’ve wanted to do a version of this project for awhile. I plan to take a photo at the same time, on the same day of each week of the year, in the same place… to track the change in light here in Yellowknife.
I started on the summer solstice which happens to be the longest day of the year… watch the light fade for the next six months and in December, watch it return over the next six months.

I chose to zoom out a bit this week, just because the contrast in the sky was kinda dramatic, throw in the rocks and its a pretty decent shot! smile emoticon
Also, one day late for this shot… someone else cooked up supper last night… couldn’t say, no!

I was a bit disapointed in the clouds in the first shot. There were lots and they seemed washed out in the photos… it occured to me to check my settings. I usually shoot on Auto, but had switched it to take some pictures last weekend to Scene. This shot is 24mins later using Auto instead of scene…. closer to waht it’s really like outside, but I didn’t realize it was actully that dark out!

About a week or so ago, I thought for sure fall was on the way, after all, it was almost August… this week makes it seem like we have a few more days of summer left.

It was a gorgeous weekend. Sun burns and all! Today the smoke rolled in, but the heat didn’t roll out. Perhaps we’ll have a bit more summer yet!

Its a beautiful day. The sun is hot, but the breeze is cool. We’ve been getting a lot of rain lately, including a big down pour late last night.
I took this picture while on the phone with a good friend who is planning to visit us next year! Woo hoo!

It was a beautiful fall day. Most of Yellowknife’s kids started school, so Facebook is already starting to flow with the first day of school photos.
