Summer Solstice
June 21st was Summer Solstice (The longest day of the year). We decided to set up the camera to capture what 24 hours looks like for us. We programmed the camera to take pictures every 10 minutes from midnight to midnight. We have turned the pictures into a movie showing what it looks up here over a 24 hour period. Due to the sun rising, and shining directly on the camera, a few pictures are darker than what it really is outside. It is a little deceiving. It is actually brighter than what it shows in the couple of darker pictures.

The above photo is me and her. You probably had it all figured out anyways. We are about to live a once in a lifetime experience, The Great White Canadian Arctic. We have decided to create this blog to keep our friends, families and curious strangers abreast of our adventures. I'm sure a few misadventures as well. All while living in Chesterfield Inlet, Nunavut. Read on to see what it's all about!

Oh! And by the way, this is Cisco, our dog. Even though she likes to puke a lot, she's still part of the family and will partake in our adventure to the North. She'll be sure to keep us on our toes and keep the polar bears at bay! She's also good for a few laughs in between leg humping sessions. We still haven't figured out how to stop that...
Thank you for a great year (or half year in our case) of blogging.

What a great idea and it’s really neat to see the tide go out and come in.

It’s interesting to see the tide movement.

That was so cool! I loved watching the tide and the shadows on the ground! Great idea, wish I had thought of that when I lived up north

Nice… so it is 24 hours of light?

O my gosh. That’s insane! But as fascinating as it is to watch it on video, I’m sure it doesn’t come near to how it really feels like in real life! Enjoy!

That was really cool. Aren’t you glad that Etienne got that camera now? I am impressed. Did you make the video with imovie?

Yes, we used iMovie….Such an easy program to use.
