Yellowknife - Views From the Deck

I had a GREAT time in Yellowknife. The weather was glorious, with highs of 19 to 22 each day and NO humidity. I took HUNDREDS of pictures but won't post them all. And I will try to 'group' them. The first group are pictures taken from Kate and Tim's deck. They have an awesome apartment and a GREAT location in the heart of 'Old Town'.

Here goes with shots taken from the deck on the first day ...


This plane, and three more just like it arrived ... and then left on Saturday/Sunday with 'charters'. I have no idea where they took people, but the folks who came back were all smiling ... :-)
Every evening around 7 pm, planes came in to land on the lake or took off on some sort of an adventure. They are pretty noisy, but awesome to see as they take off and 'land'.
By the end of my stay, the colour was starting on the hills around the lake. Fall is setting in.


The sunsets were magnificent ... and lasted for hours. Late afternoon is the warmest time of day ... and there were no bugs this time of year ... so it was great to sit out, sip wine, and enjoy the sunsets.


Next up will be pictures of Kate and Time with their kids ... but you'll have to wait ... :-)

Life IS good!
