Saw the amazing Aurora at BLL


= 3-Oct-2015 =

Went to the Blachford Lake Lodge last fall. The trip was so great! We took a small plane that only takes four people (includes the pilot). The sky was very cloudy in Yellowknife. I was worry that I might not able to see the Aurora but I did get the lucky.

去年秋天又去了一趟自家的度假村,這趟旅程很棒!先是搭了四人座的小飛機,這跟上次的15人座的 Twin Otter 不一樣,這又是不一樣的體驗,科!從黃刀市出發時,厚不拉嘰的整片雲層,害我很擔心會看不到極光,

不過...本人平常待人良善,所以老天爺還是對我很好,當然是有看到極光啦!



Sat beside the pilot and enjoyed the landscape from the window, that was a nice flight. My friend Maiken was from Denmark and did her practicum and research in Yellowknife. She did many Aurora hunting in Yellowknife. She also did a lot of awesome work before she went back home. 


小飛機位置不多,所以本人當時是坐在副駕駛座,很開心地坐在帥哥飛行員旁邊,然後看著窗戶外的美景,很過癮!整個行程都算很穩。坐在我身後的是一個在黃刀認識的朋友,她是從丹麥來的,特地來加拿大西北地區做關於極圈觀光產業的研究與報告,算是個很有趣人,她因為工作的關係,有機會參訪了很多黃刀市內的旅遊據點,很是羨慕啊!不過,我還是比較愛我的工作。呵!


 



The float place was just above these houseboats. Many people live in houseboat and enjoy a very different lifestyle in the North. I would say living there is a quite unique experience. 

水上飛機正飛過這些船屋的上方,在這裡有不少人住在這些在船上蓋的屋子,他們不用繳水電費,也沒有房屋稅和地產稅,不過所有的電源跟用水都要自己想辦法,有些人用煤炭也有人用太陽能電板 ; 冬天比較麻煩,因為要氣溫最少都有零下二十幾度,要讓屋子內保暖,需要很多木材或是能源。我有去參觀過一間,裡面是有沒有水龍頭也沒有沖水馬桶的,所有的用水都要從湖上取得的,就連排泄物也都是裝在水桶裡再拿去外面處理的。所以不要以為住在這些船屋裡有多浪漫,實際上要做超多事情來維持屋子的基本運作的。



The view from the top of float plane, you could see the fall colour on the ground. 

秋天的地表風景,和夏天就不太一樣了!有了很多不同的顏色,拍照當天沒有陽光,不然應該更漂亮的。

 



After we arrived the Blachford Lake Lodge (BLL), we took a walk on their trails. I really enjoy the nature there. 

我們一下飛機,立馬就去島上的步道逛一逛,所有環繞度假村的自然環境都超美的!我真的很愛這邊耶!






I don't know what these plants are but they are cute and interesting! We had a great time to explorer all the trails. 

就連植物對我而都很有趣!畢竟這裡的地理位置很北邊,北緯 62° 26′ 32″ !很多植披和熱帶、溫帶植物差了很多!



Thanks to Maiken, she took some good pictures of me and the beautiful view at BLL. 

謝謝丹麥來的朋友,幫我拍了這張好照片,很喜歡那在我前面的那片美景!這裏真的很好拍照耶!處處可取景!  


In the night, we saw the amazing Northern Lights before we went to sauna. It was just around 9 or 10 pm. I didn't have camera with me so I just took these pictures via my iPhone. Fortunately, the Aurora was very strong so I could took these photos by my phone. The late of the night, we enjoyed the hot tub with these beautiful Aurora all night long. After I went to bed around 3 am, I still saw the Aurora dancing in the sky throng the window from my room. What a lovely day!

晚上的重頭戲,一定不能錯過的啊!本以為要等到半夜才有的極光,竟然九點多就跑出來了,我們再去桑拿房之前就先拍照拍了一輪,本人相機壞了,只能用手機勉強拍...但是,當晚極光挺強,就連我的哀鳳都可以拍下這些還算清楚的照片。已經不是第一次看極光了,但是還是深深的感動。極光那活靈活現的舞動模樣,真的是百看不厭!

後來,晚上十一點多...我們去享受了按摩浴缸,極光也還是不停地在我們眼前跳動著,真的是太享受了!那晚的極光持續到半夜三、四點就是不肯停,我後來是躺在床上,看著窗外的極光入眠的。


 

The second day of this trip, we went canoeing at Great Slave Lake! It was quite windy but we made it. I love the way people enjoy the nature in the North! 

第二天一早起來,就去大奴湖上滑獨木舟,享受水面上的寧靜美景,雖說風浪是大了點,但是那美景還是無話可說。我好愛這種和大自然緊緊相依的生活型態喔!

 


Also, I had enjoyed the fishing. This pike was 40 inches long and 18 lbs. It was my first time trying the fishing. I was very lucky!! The pike was so heavy, I couldn't hold it steadily. 


哈哈!我下午也沒閒著,搭船到湖上釣魚!這是我生平第一次真正拿著釣竿船釣,不知是新手運氣好還是本人運動細胞不錯,這麼大隻的梭子魚立馬就上鉤,足足有40英寸長和18磅重!不得不佩服自己!哈!本來想站著抬祂拍照的,無奈根本 hold 不住,只能蹲著拍!真的太重了啦!




Eventually, I had to leave this amazing place but I know that I will come back in winter. XD!


恩!終究還是要回去上班的!休假結束啦!等我冬天有空時再回來玩吧!







聽說冬天有很多東西更好玩!
等我拍照之後,

再來跟大家說有多好玩!科!
