A Levitation Delta kite lofted a Canon S95 on a KAP rig over the site of this Nearbynature Gigapan: gigapan.org/gigapans/80659/. A snapshot shows the exact location occupied by the gigapan imager. Wind speed varied enough that the rig rose and fell constantly as the AuRiCo controller snapped photos in a diffe...

The image was taken hand held from a moving ship, hence the irregular outline. Processed in Photoshop CS3 extended from 17 images taken with a Canon IXUS 85IS. Note the band of ice on the right hand wall. This is insulated by the rock and remains frozen even after the main body of ice has gone.

These family housing units for the Maniilaq Health Center are literally on the edge of town. Beyond is the vast Arctic tundra, which in winter is a formidable, snowy, treeless, windswept wilderness. On this particular day, I saw a moose on one of the snow banks by the building on the left. You can see his escort out o...
