  • Winter Camping, Paignton Beach, Prince Albert National Park. Campsite at Paignton Beach. Note the rosehips. In anyplace but a national park, you can make a nutritious and delicious tea from them (you're not allowed to pick them in a national park).

  • Winter Camping, Paignton Beach, Prince Albert National Park. Winter's night sky contains brighter stars than in summer. Barely visible to the eye, the northern lights glow brightly green in this long exposure. Later, long after we had gone to bed, the aurora unexpectedly expanded overhead and brilliantly illuminated the landscape. (Note that instability of the tripod in the snow prevents very large enlargements of this image.)

  • Winter Camping, Paignton Beach, Prince Albert National Park. A camping trip, usually in winter, is about the only time I'll prepare bacon and eggs for breakfast. There's just something about bacon and eggs in camp that make it more delicious than at any other occasion. It also provides calories that keep you warm.

  • Winter Camping, Paignton Beach, Prince Albert National Park. Dinner: a hearty beef stew. Snow melts at the back of the stove. Water is important for winter camping; fortunately, there's an endless supply of soft water in melted snow.

  • Winter Camping, Paignton Beach, Prince Albert National Park. Trip with Colleen Gnyp, weekend following my trip with Mark Nicholson. This whiskey jack (grey jay) was pretty crafty, luring us away from the stove with its antics, then swooping past us to try to steal our breakfast. They're so cute, how could we resist?

  • Winter Camping, Paignton Beach, Prince Albert National Park. Winter hues are much more muted than the saturated colours of summer. Past sunset, alpenglow casts the clouds in magenta, while the colours of the sky reflect in the snow-covered landscape.

  • Fort Walsh National Historic Site, Saskatchewan.<br />
<br />
We arrived in time to take a bus from the interpretive centre to the fort, instead of walking. The bus travels slowly, with the driver describing historical events and pointing out locations such as the cemetery and the original townsite. The cemetery is still there, but there is little sign of the former town. It was never expected to be permanent, so most buildings were built on log foundations, which quickly rotted away. The town was abandonned when the railway went through Maple Creek.<br />
<br />
At the fort, guides dress in period costume and tell stories of NWMP life, and the Cypress Hills Massacre. Younger visitors receive uniforms representing NWMP constables. They're given tasks similar to what recruits would have done in the late 1800s, and they are asked to round up and "arrest" "fugitives" identified among the adult visitors. Everyone then participates in a mock trial.
