I never thought I'd have a chance to visit Yellowknife (or any part of Northwest Territories), but in March of 2008 I got a chance to take a work-related trip there for the Arctic Winter Games. Most of my time there was spent attending the Inuit Games, but on my last day I rented a car and did a little sightseeing. I'd like to go back again during the summer if I have a chance.

This cow and her calf seemed totally oblivious to my truck as I pulled up right beside them and took their picture.
