Yellowknife Highway Aurora

On 7th September 2022, I was traveling along the Yellowknife highway away from the cloud bank that had engulfed the city. I noticed a lake by the side of the road as I approached Edzo. Taking up the camera equipment, I moved off the highway and into a car park near the lake.

As I approached the lake, I had my headlights on and there was a loud splash in the water. As I got closer there were 2 or 3 loud splashes in the water. As I neared the edge of the water there were about 6 to 8 beavers in the water right where I had stopped.

I set up my tripod and camera and started to compose the shot. I turned off the headlight and started taking pictures of the beavers splashing every so often. I finished quickly and moved back to the vehicle with my headlight on to see about five Coyotes in the distance from the vehicle.

I got back into the vehicle and then pondered to see if there were really Coyotes. I did not get out of the vehicle again but got back onto the highway and traveled back to Yellowknife to find the cloud cover had gone.

Can you use any other paper?

If a client would like a print on a different paper we can quote that. However as you can imagine it gets expensive if a customer is only ordering one image on a specific type of paper.
