Long After Summer at Iniakuk

I was rummaging through past photos, and remembered that I intended to make one last blog post from the month that I spent last summer as assistant caretaker at Iniakuk Lodge. Upon looking back at my photos I was taken, once again, by the prettiness of the flowers and the place. 

Posts one and two are also filled with pretty flowers and scenery, if you haven't seen them.

That a drop of water is roughly the size of the whole head of the flower should give a sense of scale. 

  

Looking back down to Iniakuk Lake. 

Foggy.

A little mid-exercise selfie can be important even when the weather is not nice.

The ridge above the lake.

That night when the rain stopped I motored around the lake. According to the time stamp on the photo this was just before 11pm.

If I had composed this photo with perfect symmetry instead of almost-perfect symmetry then it would have been great.

I can't complain that the sky and the lake did not do their part to aid in the symmetry.

This little cabin was my digs. This is the next morning.

Pat fed me too good. No really, it was too good relative to the amount of exercise I was getting.

To make myself useful, I did things like paint the windows.

But the pace of the work was not such that I couldn't compose selfies of work.

The mosquitoes could be truly ferocious.

The view from the sauna. I never took a sauna, however, due to fear of mosquitoes.

See?

The same walk to the ridge, on a different day.

The ridgeline, in the fog. I believe I'm looking down the ridge, with Mt. Halwaugh behind me.

SEE????

And... that's it.
