Northwest Territories 1 of 3I began working for a seismic company in May 1995.After a few weeks of twiddling thumbs in the office, we were sent to train with the field crews. Working in the Northwest Territories was a blast. I got to fly around in bushplanes and helicopters, blow up dynamite and see humbling perspectives of the Canadian North that I will never forget. Yes, the manual work was hard, but it was a great feeling at the end of the day to know that you had seen sights and travelled trails that few others ever would. The shot below shows a couple of 'juggies' stomping geophones into the side of a hill. One day, about a week after I took this photo, we dropped all our equipment and raced to the nearest landing pad when the helicopter pilot spotted some grizzlies only a few kilometres away. |
