Light Bulbs

So this is a little random.

Am I the only person who often just has random weird thoughts about everyday things???

Today I was flying into Edmonton from Inuvik and maybe its because I've been away from anything city for a month, but I just couldn't believe all the lights.  I mean, if you think about it there is a light bulb installed for every single light.  That's a TON of light bulbs!  I just was looking out the window and could not even fathom the amount of light bulbs it takes to just light one city block and the homes or businesses let alone a whole city!  Its just one of those things, like if you say a word too many times it starts to sound really weird, this just blew my mind.  At one time when the sun set the earth was dark, not anymore, we just flick a switch and magically a little glass bulb allows us to see.  Its just way too easy. 

My random thought of the day.

Not exactly Edmonton but city enough!

Eat, Breathe, Ski!

Just had to attach this video!

I just finished watching it, not sure if there are many who read this who ski, but it just gives me that feeling that you can't explain!  If you love skiing then you'll know exactly what I am talking about! Amazing filming and photography also.

The Beautiful North

So I'm still up here in Inuvik.  Its beautiful here!  I've got a few pictures, but not too many because there isn't much daylight, so not much time to take pictures.  The sun no longer comes up, it gets light out still, but its always dim, sorta like evening light (if that makes any sense).  Before the sun stopped coming up we would have the most amazing sunrises, the sky would be fire red, orange, yellow. I got a few pictures but then had problems with my memory card and they all got erased.  So I got my card working again but these pictures just don't do it justice, I can't even explain how awesome it was, these are taken on the last day we saw the sun so the sunrise wasn't quite what it had been. These are taken right outside the hangar I work in, the windows in the hangar look out to this, its awesome!

 

This is the hangar I work in, and the machines I'm working on right now.

 

 

Not too interesting I know!

This is the house I am staying in, the black one on the left is mine, and thats my red car! They have the most colourful houses up here, it makes the drab and dark winters a lot more cheerful!

And I just thought this picture was kinda cool cause it means we are 1220km NORTH of Whitehorse.

Well thats it, sorry I don't have better pictures, I had a whole bunch before they all got erased.  I've got a week left and I am definitely looking forward to coming home!
