Smoke Signals

Here is another shot of a lovely Baker Lake Sunrise highlighting the smoke from the elementry schools furnace (its oil fired - so this is not a bad or unusual thing) We finally have had a spate of clear weather and I've seen the northern lights on 3 occasions although I've only managed to photograph twice and both times the results were medicore at best. I'm hoping tonight will have some good opportunities.

I've just hear the coffee maker make the final chugging sounds indicating that if I want some coffee (Tim Horton's this morning) than all I have to do is go get some... so... back in a sec.

The Christmas Concert last night was a great show of students creativity. The Junior high students were enthusiastic and looked like they were having a great time. The MC team managed an amusing banter of knock knock and other jokes - some of which took advatantage of interplay between Inuktitut and English. My favourite knock knock joke went like this....

A: Knock knock

J: Who's there?

A: Centipede

J: Centipede who?

A: Centipede on the Christmas tree...

Groan!

Anywho - hopefully my next post or so -I'll have some real pictures of the aurora borealis - have a wonderful Friday.
