But there are some nice sights too!

Only the most ardent global warming fanatics in America’s Pacific Northwest city of Seattle are still adamant that the world is warming up. The city was pounded with a massive snowstorm that is still wreaking havoc, even as the snow melts. To add insult to injury, the Los Angeles Times decided to refer to Seattle residents as “wimps”. One could say that that’s “the pot calling the kettle black” but in 2012 that might be deemed racist!
Here’s a photo of a car on the side of road, not too far from Microsoft’s Redmond campus:

De Havilland DHC-6 Twin Otter [two videos here] rests under a thin band of aurora borealis on Point Lake, Northwest Territories.

Mr Pineau’s website is here. Happy New Year!
Update: I neglected to mention that Viking Air of British Columbia is making new-build Twotters–and is having success selling them.

The Boston Globe always features a superb collection of photos from around the world. Nearing the end of 2011, they’re featuring a review of the year’s events: Part 1, Part 2, & Part 3.

Yesterday, on frozen Green Lake, just north of Whistler, BC, two guys cleared the snow off a portion of the lake in order to . . . play hockey!


Quite the Canadian scene, eh!

Cjunk gets his camera out.
And the “after” photos.

Returning from over two weeks of dog shows between Colorado and Idaho, it seems my home province has decided to pour out the welcome mat…

The photo was taken south of Swift Current this morning. I’m lucky I didn’t decide to cross at Harlem.

It was still dry in Montana yesterday, but not for long.

Dryer times at the Canyon Crest restaurant, overlooking the Snake River Canyon in Twin Falls, ID. Every few minutes a base jumper would parachute from the bridge.
Thanks, as always, to our intrepid team of guest bloggers. Work obligations have meant a lot of international travel so far this year, and SDA simply couldn’t continue without them. If you haven’t already, be sure to offer your thanks in the comments.
Normal posting will resume in the coming hours.

A couple of shots I took on the drive home from Denver ten days ago. This first is in Wyoming, I think …
