What a difference a day makes...
in one's spirits when the sun is out, and although clear and cold still able to get outside. This morning after being cooped inside for a day or two got out both to church and for a ski.
Located in the newer area of Gjoa Haven there is a long down hill walk 
or ski from my unit. Looking back up the hill mine is the green central 4 plex. 
The Anglican service was totally in Inuktitut and my bilingual hymn book from Rankin Inlet didn't have quite the same numbers but eventually figured it out and was welcomed, although the only " kablunac " present. Home for a brief lunch and then out on the skis, encountered this group ice fishing. 
With a small wooden handled line and hook and bait ( told fresh seal the best ) constantly jiggled these two cod fish were the result. 
not as good this weekend as last when over 15 were caught in the same half hour time period!This is the sun about 3 PM...
just love the smokiness of the light here. On the return trip in the middle of the skidoo trail was a kamotik full of ice. 
Families will go go out to collect ice as it is fresher and makes purer water. 
An up hill hike, skis on the outside porch
and a satisfied afternooon trek.
