Not sunny, but not too dark either.
Gallery of the Midnight Sun; one of my favorite places in Yellowknife, so much beautiful artwork in one spot. I can spend hours wandering through...and dreaming...ok, and buying a few things too.
I thought if would be fun to have some fresh fish, just off the boat. I was warned this place was a tourist trap and it definitely is; funky decor, with signatures everywhere, including the ceiling and a mounted fish...everything is fair game. Terrible service though, and very pricey. I will say that my whitefish was good; maybe not $28 good, but good.
This has got to be the best view in Yellowknife, from the top of the Pilots Memorial this is just one direction of a spectacular 360 degree view. I'm not sure why I didn't take a picture from the other sides; guess I was too caught up in living the moment.
The drive was very long, but breaking it up with little trips to some of the many waterfalls along the way made it much more enjoyable. This is the beautiful Lady Evelyn Falls.
Another surprise waterfall was at McNallie Creek, where the seemingly calm stream plummets about 50 feet.
It took a little longer than expected to get home. Especially with the 1/2 hour wait while the Buffalo just "chilled" in the middle of the road. While I was waiting more cars, vans and trucks arrived and after 15 minutes of gently herding the buffalo and honking horns they finally moved off. It's easy to see who the king of the road is, and it's not us. They move when they're good and ready to.
Hello there! It's a bit disconcerting when you start to feel surrounded!
