Thanks for the kind comments, folks. Interesting that most of you noted the quality of the light. Mid-winter days in Yellowknife are very short, with the sun barely above the horizon even at noon. This means that you have four or five hours of "magic hour" every day when it's not cloudy. Unfortunately, clear weather is often associated with extreme cold.
In summer the sun dips only slightly below the horizon. The result is spectacular, very prolonged sunsets and sunrises, with very interesting illumination from the sky when the sun is down. I've done some of my favourite shots in the middle of the night. The price for shooting on summer nights is the blood taken by massive swarms of mosquitoes and black flies. Maybe I'll do a summer night shot for my next PESO.
