2018 Road Trip to Tuktoyaktuk, NWT via Dempster Highway and the Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway or ITH (Tuk Highway).
After nearly ten hours sailing we have arrived. Devonport dead ahead. But first we have to navigate the narrow channel in the Mersey River. For the crew of the bridge, who do this all the time, this is like a walk in the park (let's hope one day we don't have to explain this metaphor to our children).
You can see a solitary fisherman sitting in his dinghy just outside the channel lines, and some more people on shore. Up in the bridge (I'll tag it) the Captain watches as the Spirit of Tasmania I enters the final approach.
Towards the end of our trip south through the Lemaire Channel, cloud descended over Booth Island, the light got beautifully soft and this image and the next few were taken. This was shot at nearly 9pm. Most people had gone inside for dinner, and just me and JP (John Paul Caponigro) remained on the top deck of the ship. This isn't everyone's light or conditions, but we both loved it. Eventually JP went down and I was up there alone. It was one of the memories from the trip that will stay with me always.
The Lemaire Channel, Antarctica.
I made a short film of what I saw in Antarctica. If you'd like to see it, head over to YouTube or you can watch it here on Flickr.
If you'd like to see all my Antarctica images together, you can visit my Flickr Antarctica album.
I wrote three blog posts about this amazing trip to Antarctica. If you'd like read about the trip and see some more documentary/BTS images, you'll find the blog posts here:

This is part of the channel that goes beneath the London Bridge in Havasu City, Arizona. We stayed on the top floor in the condos you can see to the right. I was waiting for that ferry to take me over to the California side of the lake, enjoying an adult beverage and the sunset. I usually hate waiting but for some reason I didn't mind this.
Have a great weekend!
The Giant's Causeway is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic fissure eruption. It is located in County Antrim on the north coast of Northern Ireland, about three miles (4.8 km) northeast of the town of Bushmills.
Around 50 to 60 million years ago, during the Paleocene Epoch, Antrim was subject to intense volcanic activity, when highly fluid molten basalt intruded through chalk beds to form an extensive lava plateau. As the lava cooled, contraction occurred.
Horizontal contraction fractured in a similar way to drying mud, with the cracks propagating down as the mass cooled, leaving pillarlike structures, which are also fractured horizontally into "biscuits". In many cases the horizontal fracture has resulted in a bottom face that is convex while the upper face of the lower segment is concave, producing what are called "ball and socket" joints. The size of the columns is primarily determined by the speed at which lava from a volcanic eruption cools.
The extensive fracture network produced the distinctive columns seen today. The basalts were originally part of a great volcanic plateau called the Thulean Plateau which formed during the Paleocene.
According to legend, the columns are the remains of a causeway built by a giant. The story goes that the Irish giant Fionn mac Cumhaill (Finn MacCool), from the Fenian Cycle of Gaelic mythology, was challenged to a fight by the Scottish giant Benandonner. Fionn accepted the challenge and built the causeway across the North Channel so that the two giants could meet. In one version of the story, Fionn defeats Benandonner. In another, Fionn hides from Benandonner when he realises that his foe is much bigger than he is. Fionn's wife, Oonagh, disguises Fionn as a baby and tucks him in a cradle. When Benandonner sees the size of the 'baby', he reckons that its father, Fionn, must be a giant among giants. He flees back to Scotland in fright, destroying the causeway behind him so that Fionn would be unable to chase him down.
Across the sea, there are identical basalt columns (a part of the same ancient lava flow) at Fingal's Cave on the Scottish isle of Staffa, and it is possible that the story was influenced by this.
In overall Irish mythology, Fionn mac Cumhaill is not a giant but a hero with supernatural abilities, contrary to what this particular legend may suggest. In Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry (1888) it is noted that, over time, "the pagan gods of Ireland [...] grew smaller and smaller in the popular imagination, until they turned into the fairies; the pagan heroes grew bigger and bigger, until they turned into the giants". There are no surviving pre-Christian stories about the Giant's Causeway, but it may have originally been associated with the Fomorians (Fomhóraigh); the Irish name Clochán na bhFomhóraigh or Clochán na bhFomhórach means "stepping stones of the Fomhóraigh". The Fomhóraigh are a race of supernatural beings in Irish mythology who were sometimes described as giants and who may have originally been part of a pre-Christian pantheon
Many years ago, the Pearl River flowed here. The river changed course. A shallow area was created by the deposition of sediments as the river retreated. During periodic low water, seedlings of water-tolerant cypress and tupelo trees gained a foothold. The trees you see today are a result.
Water tupelo and bald cypress trees can live in deep water for long periods. After taking root in the summer when the swamp is dry, the seedlings can stay alive in water deep enough to kill other plants.
The trail at this location leads through an abandoned river channel. As the channel fills with silt and vegetation, black willow, sycamore, red maple, and other trees will gradually replace the bald cypress and water tupelo. Also if you look closely you may see juvenile alligators sunning themselves on floating logs and other vegetation.
This location is also a trailhead for the Yockanookany Section of the Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail. This trailhead is located directly across the paved Parkway from the Cypress Swamp site. Hikers may hike south 14.1 miles to the West Florida Boundary, north 8.9 miles to the Yockanookany Trailhead, or any distance they chose on this out and back trail.

I'm pretty happy with the feel of this. I wanted to capture photos tht didn't look digital, and hopefully had a more classic vibe.

Finally developed some film today, the first since March I think. I still have around 15 rolls to develop but it's a start!
One of those occasions where I load expired film (reloaded from another camera) to test a camera only to wish I'd used fresh film as the model was better than expected :)
Marks are mostly from the backing paper..
