Labradorite

crystals can be seen if you enlarge and look had at the first photo. I was out scouting for a water hole, this one is not as it's usual place [in the stream flow], the cold temps and lack of snow has moved the water flow beneath the ice and the actual flow and bubbling was going up hill at the hole.






While there I took some shots of the ice sans lack of snow. Those mountains are over 5 kilometers away so the 600 mm lens brings em up close.

The shadows in the last picture are from 1400 ft mountains to the right.

I hear some people are heading north today to look for caribou. It's only about 80 clicks as the crow flies but I wish the good speed and good luck with the hunt.

Beautiful, beautiful scenery Brian. Thanks for sharing it. Hope the hunters share some of that cari-boo with you too! :-)
