Sunset Sunday-Good-bye From Churchill Airport in Manitoba

At one point on my recent arctic adventure I wondered if I’d see a sunset in Churchill at all. Then on my third and final evening in town, I braved the arctic air and dropping temperatures to capture the moment. However, I didn’t witness the sun dip below the horizon during my first  Churchill sunset. But apparently I’d have another chance.

Our Flight on the fourth day was changed from an afternoon to an evening flight. Thanks to the storm that caused us to miss one night viewing the northern lights  we had more time in Churchill.  And we arrived at Churchill Airport (YYQ) around sunset.

After I climbed out of the bus and helped navigate my suitcase inside, I returned outside to capture another moment. The cool blueness of the snow and ice against the brilliant yellows and oranges of the sun made for such a wonderful contrast. More Manitoba magic.

Happy Sunset Sunday.

Stay Adventurous, Craig
