With those ears, they can probably hear traffic from miles away

Here are two mule deer on the highway outside Carcross.

 

YuKonstruct: The first “makerspace” North of 60

 

   

Let’s say you live in a condo, apartment, mobile home or a place without a garage. Where are you supposed to fix your car, repaint a kitchen table or build a prototype for an invention you might have?

One answer could be a “Makerspace.” It’s like a gym for tinkering minds. A monthly fee provides access to workshop space, equipment and even some specialized tools like routers, laser cutters and 3D printers.

There is such a space in Whitehorse, called YuKonstruct.

 

 

German traveller with massive RV

Six wheels, three gas tanks and built to withstand warzones.
What is this vehicle?
“I bought it from the German police” says the driver, Mario Goldstein. He explains the truck was formerly used to carry a water cannon.
Now it has driven him through Pakistan and India as well as North America.
Goldstein briefly stopped in Whitehorse last week while on a tour of Yukon and Alaska.

Centennial trail in the fall colours

The centennial trail is a paved 5km loop near downtown Whitehorse. It’s used by joggers, people walking and bicycles of all types including this recumbent bike.

 

Shooting star

Nights are getting longer, offering views of the cosmos.

Whitehorse has many spots such as Miles Canyon where photographers gather away from the city lights.

 

Fall colours and the S.S. Klondike

A nice day for a stroll on the Centennial trail.

Birds of Yukon: Eagles vs Ravens

A juvenile eagle lands near the side of the Yukon River

The eagle is confronted by small ravens.

The black birds pester the eagle, flying close in tight circles.

The bothered juvenile eagle flies away.

Suddenly a huge mature bald eagle arrives with its massive wingspan. The ravens scatter.

The bald eagle, King of the Jungle (so to speak) rests unchallenged.

Fall colours in Riverdale

   

On the Upper Riverdale trail you can see bright orange, yellow and red colours beginning to blend in with the green leaves.

Birds of Yukon: Mallards

I believe these are three female mallards.

With the fall approaching they will soon fly away to South America, Africa or India.
