This photo is from a walk I took with Tom last week, but today was the same kind of dreary, foggy day- what Newfoundlanders call a "mauzy ol' day" (spelling is my own). So here is a picture of the inukshuk that overlooks our camp. The inukshuk is perfectly profiled on the ridge when you look out from the back of the camp. Donaldson Camp (the exploration camp that Xstrata operates as part of its mining activities here in Raglan) is visible just right of the inukshuk, and at the far right is the old mine headframe and the big yellow cylinder is the diesel tank we currently use, with other various buildings in between. The weather can remind one of Newfoundland sometimes, but you only need look around and you realize how far from home you are.
I know sunsets can be kind of cliche, but I saw this one on the way out to the Crone workshop and snapped it. I just kind of liked it so decided to throw it up here on the blog. The mine headframe is in the shot, and I think that the pond is what we use as our water supply for the camp. This is the view from the parking area as you enter the camp.
