Around Town

We received our first real dusting of snow - pics of that tomorrow - not more than a centimeter but, its on the ground none the less!

Here are just some random shots from around town. No specific order or meaning - just randoms.

This is the most fiscally successful Legion in all of Canada!!

Why? Might you ask.. 2 reasons - You pay a $75 a year fee to belong to the legion and hell - it's Iqaluit how many bars are there? Plus the drinks are like $1 cheaper - and the winter is long and dark here - perfect drinking weather!!

This is the seat in the Nunavut Legislature - notice PETA members (may you all rot in hell if your reading this blog!) - that it is covered in seal skin.


Here are some traditional tools used by the Inuit for centuries. You can see an Ulu - mainly used by women - and a few smaller knives. All made of bone and local stone.


The next 2 images are of the same subject. I've included a wider shot to set scale.

As you might imagine - carving material is highly prized as, there really isnt much up here to carve other than bone and stone. So the Inuit had to be creative and use smaller bones, this piece is tiny!



And the close up - very good detail as it is so tiny

Must work now....
