I spent three summers working with the Geological Survey in Central Labrador, NF, Canada doing till geochemistry / drift prospecting research. What a wonderful experience.
From Wikipedia, three excerpts:
Labrador is the distinct, northerly region of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It comprises the mainland portion of the province, separated from the island of Newfoundland by the Strait of Belle Isle. It is the largest and northernmost geographical region in Atlantic Canada.
Labrador occupies the eastern part of the Labrador Peninsula, in an area slightly larger than the US state of Colorado. It is bordered to the west and the south by the Canadian province of Quebec. Labrador also shares a small land border with the Canadian territory of Nunavut on Killiniq Island.
Though Labrador's area is over twice that of the island of Newfoundland, it has only 6% of the province's population. The aboriginal peoples of Labrador include the Northern Inuit of Nunatsiavut, the Southern Inuit-métis of Nunatukavut (NunatuKavut), and the Innu. The non-aboriginal population in Labrador did not permanently settle in Labrador until the natural resource developments of the 1940s and 1950s. Before the 1950s, very few non-aboriginal people lived in Labrador year round. The few European immigrants who worked seasonally for foreign merchants and brought their families were known as Settlers.
The Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) (French: Commission Géologique du Canada (CGC)) is part of the Earth Sciences Sector of Natural Resources Canada. GSC is responsible for performing geologic surveys of the country, developing Canada's natural resources and protecting the environment. The GSC is the country's oldest scientific agency and one of its first government organizations.

During the last major glaciation, the Wisconsin, ice sheets covered most of Canada. These ice sheets scoured large areas of bedrock and transported this scoured material in a down ice direction where it was deposited as glacial sediments, most notably till. In some locations till contains minerals of economic value. Till such as this can be traced in an up ice direction to its source which may be a mineralized rock outcrop or till covered bedrock, this technique is known as drift prospecting.
Drift prospecting was originally developed in Finland, and was first researched in Canada in the 1950’s, since then it has been used extensively as an important mineral exploration tool. (GSC,2006). During the past few decades many valuable mineral deposits have been discovered such as copper ore, uranium, and most notably the Kimberlite deposit near Lac de Gras, Northwest Territories which is now a fully operational mine
This is Jip ! Sometimes a pain in the ass, but nice in pictures...
We've got 3 labrador retreivers, we've found them on a dutch site called : Marktplaats.nl
It's a place where you can sell used goods/stuff (and animals)
It's a shame people don't think before they buy dogs...
Ich erwarte keine Kommentare für diese Bilder - sie dienem einen externen Link für die Frauchen und Herrchen dieser Hunde.

Click click click and forget about work for time being.
Taking a break from macro photography, more night shots will be posted soon.
This is the first time that I am quite happy with my sunset shot. The sky on that day has given a good effect with a few layers and tones.
I added the dry branches on the top left to give some depth to this shot.
I did some adjustment on the contrast, brightness and saturation from RAW and converted this to JPG.
Throughout the large bog the Labrador Tea (Rhododendron groenlandicum) is in bloom at the Mer Bleue Conservation Area, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Retriever do Labrador (Labrador ou em alguns países de língua inglesa, Lab), é uma das mais conhecidas raças de cão. Notabiliza-se por sua amabilidade, inteligência e obediência. Devido a estas características, são frequentemente treinados para cães de caça, de assistência, como cães-guia ou de serviço. A raça Labrador é uma das mais populares em todo o mundo, em especial nos Estados Unidos e Europa.
O nome "retriever" deve-se ao facto de o Labrador ter como principal função a busca de caça abatida. Existem mais raças na família dos "retrievers", como, o Golden Retriever, o Toller (Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever), o Curlie Coated Retriever, o Chesapeake Bay Retriever ou o Flat Coated Retriever.

Labrador Nature Reserve is an oasis of tranquility and natural wonders. The park offers a picturesque view of the sea. A path built on the edge of the secondary forest provides a prime view of the cliff side vegetation coupled with a panoramic view of the sea. It is not uncommon to hear songs of a variety of bird species, including the Oriental Magpie-robin and Black-naped Oriole. While you are taking a leisurely stroll along one of the nature trails, you can spot squirrels scurrying up trees.

USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78)
Sage, a three-year-old female yellow Labrador Retriever, is deployed aboard the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), May 3, as part of the Expanded Operational Stress Control Canine pilot program. Gerald R. Ford is the flagship of the Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group. As the first-in-class ship of Ford-class aircraft carriers, CVN 78 represents a generational leap in the U.S. Navy’s capacity to project power on a global scale.

Labrador has one of the last mainland seagrass meadows. These in turn shelter a variety of marine life.
