Interesting clouds, August 12, 2010 on Manitoba 394.



































































The next day would begin 3 straight days of rain, setting a record
for Thompson Manitoba.
































































Tried to photograph this Bald Eagle while perched, but it saw me
and took to the wing.  Along the Churchill River, north of Leaf
Rapids, which is between Thompson and Lynn Lake.



































































































Only deer I saw was this decoy.

Shot this series of photographs of an ice road, which branches
from highway 394 just south of Wolverine Lodge.


































From highway 394, looking north.


































































Looking east at the back of the warning signs.   Front sign is shown
below.









































































































































































































The remaining photographs were taken in Ontario, north of the
town of Pickle Lake, on the road to Windigo Lake.




























Lots of cars, but no boats or fishermen.

Note from 2017:  I learned that these cars are from villagers who
park here and fly to their village, to the north.  A bridge is under
construction which will allow locals to drive to the town






































































































A typical fen, about 50 km south of Windigo Lake.




































































































Polygonia were scarce on this road, but when I found them they
were near these fens.































One of the best sites for
Polygonia, just south of Stirland Lake
(N52.349 W91.034).
