Window Garden

A quick post while I am in Yellowknife and free internet...

I started a hydroponic windoe garden. It so far has 4 recycled bottles, inside is a natural wool with a soil pellet. I had to paint the bottoms and they are joined so the water can flow through each to the bottom reservor. I have to get my recyled I-V bag that I will inject with the fertiliser solution and it can feed my plants (that is if they grow) continuesly (SP).

Other thing you can see that the snow is melting!! The temp has been above 0 a few times. The moisture in the air is coming so it can feel like home somethings.

Well I can write more, I have a plane to catch...Just wanted the free internet to load some pics..


Melting....river running through..

Polar Bear and Gjoa haven

Today at work they said there was a Polar Bear sighting at 4 mile island, they said the hunters followed it and it was a young one they think lost. They said it had been about 20 years since a Polar bear had been this close to Kugluktuk.

A few weeks ago I was in Gjoa Haven working at the school on my way to the building this was my sights..

A Muskox and a White Fox, Muskox is used for sleeping on when they go out on the land. The fox is used for parkas around the head, hands and bottom of parks, as well as mukluks. They are a a must to keep warm and not lose a body part to frost bite.

I just love the look of this vehicle, but it doesn't run. sure looks cool though.

Giant big Ass bunnies. I wouldn't want to corner one of them, I think they could bite..

 نوشته های کوتاه از مهاجرت
"زندگی همین است"
 
...چند هفته ای از قطب شمال دورم...سعی کردم،در این مدت به کارهای که باید انجام می دادم،برسم...به مسافرت رفتم،ودر کنار اعضای فامیل درد ودل از همه جا بود،شادی کردیم وخندیدیم...روز های بعد در مراسم فوت عزیزی شرکت کردم،که در زندگی سیاسی واجتماعی من نقش زیادی داشت،در مراسم بارها از خود سوال کردم،"واقعا زندگی چیست"؟،یک روز شادی از خبری خوش،وروز دیگر غمگین از اخباری ناگوار...روز بعد برای خرید هدایا برای دوستان قطب شمال به بازار رفتم،سعی داشتم،چیزهای بخرم که دوستان به آن علاقه دارند...وخوشحال از خرید هدایا به خانه برگشتم...بزودی به قطب باز خواهم گشت...وامروز از طریق فیس بوک شنیدم،عزیزی که برای او کادو خریده بودم،در سن ۴۰ سالگی در بستر خواب جان سپرد....
 
چاره ای نیست،
زندگی همین است...
 
باید افتاد وبلند شد،
شادی کرد،از خبری خوش،
... وغمگین از اخباری ناگوار...
 
چاره ای نیست...
زندگی همین است ...

مسافرت

نوشته های کوتاه از مهاجرت
مسافرت

...بعداز هشت ماه ماندن درقطب شمال فرصتی ایجاد شد،تا به مرخصی بروم...در محل زندگی من(قطب شمال)درختی وجود ندارد،واز گلهای زیبا هم.خبری نیست،تا چشم کارمی کند،برف ویخبندان است...در همین مدت احساس می کردم،در کنار خیلی چیزها ی که از آن دورم،دیدن درختان وگلها را هم از دست داده ام...در مسافرت،بقولی مثل آدمهای "ندید وبدید"که سالها از همه چیز دورند،به درختان وگلها بیشتر از گذشته توجه داشتم،وپشت سرهم از آنان عکس می گرفتم...

Goodbye Sun!

Well we are quickly losing our sun. It comes over the horizon around 10 ish and sinks 3 ish. Soon it will be gone completly. On one side is the sun and the other is the moon. Thay chase each other around the sky. They seem so huge here and we feel so much closer. The sky just facinates me here, it really is different than any other place I have been in the world.
