The Float Plane

As a child, I have always had a fascination with airplanes. Perhaps it was because my mother worked at the airport and I spent a lot of time there watching them take off and land while waiting for her to get off of work. I don't know what it is about them, but I find them a beautiful piece of machinery that can take us on fascinating adventures.

I remember how excited I was the first time I visited Yellowknife 20 years ago and got a chance to see float planes up close and personal. It wasn't until this year in Fort Simpson that I got a chance to fly in one.

This image from Yellowknife this summer is one of my favorites. Come aboard and take me to a different land!
