"The Tundra. A feeling of space, infinitely moving air, miniature gardens, tiny, enduring, huge and fragile.." 

"I have just returned from a photo week on the Canadian tundra. This sentence seems simple and yet within the basic meaning of those particular words there is magic, awe, peace, purity and an ecosystem full of unique life and diversity."  

"My mentor and longtime friend Courtney Milne invited me to be part of his group of photographers and other artists in early September. We were fortunate to have good weather every day and to see the tundra plants change from summer to autumn colours." 

"Each day offered many options for hiking, boating, photographing and the hopeful search for wildlife sightings. In our group we had sightings of Musk Oxen, many caribou, peregrine falcon, gyrfalcon, ptarmigan, eagles, Harris sparrow, tundra wolf, yellow-billed loon, vole and the ground squirrel called Sic Sic." 

"For me there was also a special thrill in finding the fresh tracks of animals – wolf pups, wolverine, fox, tundra wolf (right down the beach in front of our tents).  The programme also incorporates informative and moving presentations and field trips about the human history of the area – aboriginal and European." 

"The staff – I should say the people who enhance the experience of this special place – are well trained and full of passion for their jobs. They are naturalists, wilderness first aid trained, cooks, hiking and boating guides. They tirelessly answered questions, were flexible and accommodating. And what amazing meals they produced from the funky kitchen!"
