There are many dogs in town, and very, very few of them are the genuine Inuit sled dog. At some point in Pangnirtung's history, someone brought in a very "randy" corgy-type dog, and the species has been altered forever.
The genetic blend does make for cute puppies, though.
Jonah, a young artist up the street from me, carving early in the morning.
Jonah is not considered a master carver. That is an honour bestowed upon artists who have been carving for a certain length of time and have produced some amazing sculptures. Jonah is well on his way to getting that status if he continues on his path.
I ran up Mt Duvall after puttering away in town. Nice to get out and stretch the legs.
The sun is getting lower, and in a couple of weeks, the mountain above Pangnirtung will block the sun from it, leaving it in the dark until February 14, Valentine's Day.
Kind of neat looking down on the ocean from 700m up. Note the coastal shelf that is completely exposed at low tides. Pang has tidal variations of up to 7m, making you plan your schedule accordingly when heading out on the ocean.

Dude, your photography skills are outstanding. I love the sun glare poking over the inukshuk (wow, I most likely butchered the spelling on that!).
SO glad you have a site to share these with all of us lazy buggers who prefer the creature comforts of suburbia :-)
And that puppy is well captured too. So cute.
