Here is a crop of one of the images from that composit, just me, J and the rock. The image is pretty bad, the sun was in the wrong place (or the camera was) it was just an experiment, so next time I shall take more care and hopefully get something more interesting. 
Before a route is safe to climb it must be cleaned, any loose material is removed. some of the loose material doesn't look lose and would make a very tempting hold, which if used could come off with disastrous effects. Here J has a crow bar behind a large flake, which looks like a great hold, right where you need one, but it had to go.
Yesterday I visited the new climbing area in the Wilderness area. This is an experimantal photo, I set the camera shooting while J climbed the wall. I selected a few of the images and superimposed them.
For Lewis birthday party we had a fire in our neighbour's fire pit. Lewis and his friends played spot light and had a lot of fun running around in the dark.
A few days before I left East lake the weathe rtook a turn fo rthe worse, the wind picked up. I was trying to get some interesting fuzzy water shote here, it didn't really work out, and I got quite wet as the waves were breaking and blowing back on me.
This was fairly early in the evening. I ended up sleeping out infront of the tent last night to get some fresh air and so watch the lights. They were amazing later in the night, lighting from the northern horizon and sometimes 1/2 way to the southern horizon. I had to puit the camera away and try to get some sleep. I was rudly awakened early in the morning by rain!
Northern lights again tonight. I wish i had braught my cable release, for my camera so I could get some exposures of more than 30s.
The northern lights were pretty good last night, a bit muted by high cloud, but it made an interesting effect. Here you see out residence, west Mount (the higher part of camp) with the northern lights above. This image was very dark, so I have had to push the levels significantly. Wish i had shot in raw now.
Every morning the Chopper delivers the core drilled overnight from the drills. The core is stored in core boxed and packed into a net which is hooked to a long line below the chopper. This is the same method we use to move our bore hole gear.
The drills here have canvas walls to save on wieght when they move them. the light was casting a shadow if the drillers one the canvas. Drilling is quite a hecktic busines, so there is always lots of arm waving and pointing, but I failed to capture any of this, not used to the shutter delay on the old tosh.
While waiting for the drillers to pull the rods I took a few pix with the old tosh. that pile of boxes on the net is our bore hole gear. After we surveyed the hole they moved the drill, now all there is there is a small puddle of mud. They don't leave much mess up here, the drills are moved by chopper, so they don't even have to make roads to drag them in.
There are numerous Innucksui around here, not sure if they are built by native people, or just people southerners looking for something to do. I leave the Innukshuk building to the experts, so instead I built this rock stack. I plan to add a nice pure white lump of Quarts to the top soon.
.
On tuesday this tent bacame vacant as the GL Geoservices crew moved out, So terry and I moved in, this gives us space to store and charge out gear without bothering anyone elce.
Well I thought it looked like the east side of Ibsley common on a misty morning. The lumps are not ant hills tho, they are rocks. the fog is fog and the wet bits are wet bits.
