Hey! I'm still here. I have been busy writing other things (like
this article on Iqaluit Pride!) and also, randomly enough,
a couple of remixes. Mainly, though, I've been enjoying life in Cambridge Bay.
There's a polar bear hanging around just outside of town this week. He just seems to be hanging out around the cabins. I don't have any photos of him because I am too scared to go out looking for him. But other people have seen him. Somebody in town asked, if the bear attacks, can I shoot the bear? YOLO, someone replied. Stand your ground.
It's interesting. I was reading a fascinating
journal article discussing the polar bear as a metaphor for the traditional gender ambiguity that was prevalent in historical Inuit culture. And then this polar bear appeared. So, maybe it means something.
Today, I managed to catch the sunrise and the sunset.
sunrise, over a frozen arctic ocean
sunset, over a developing tundra
However, this photo wins as the most Nunavut photo. All-terrain vehicle. Truck. Husky dog. Beautiful sunrise over a frozen ocean.
