Winter Flight out of the Nahanni

I might have gotten some spectacular sunset shots had I been sitting on the starboard side of the plane. As it happens, I was on the port side. I apologise if some of these shots are a little "blue", but the sun was going down and the window of the Islander blued things out a bit.

If you're not familiar with the area (and most people aren't), maybe some of these shots will give you an idea of why I enjoy it so much.

The airport terminal building. Apparently, the Pilot's Lounge is a really fancy place.

One side of the runway, looking much like the other side.

Prairie Creek Valley.

Mountains as far as the eye can see.

Looks like a fun place to go hiking...
