This was bizarre… As I left the airfield on the thursday evening in the bus, we saw this caribou going full speed across the paddack, kicking up lost of dust… We could see where he was going, but it was quite funny to see.
Ok I have finished churning through all the photos I took during the week, so this is definitely the last lot… For every image here I have five more stored on photobucket so just drop me an email an introduce yourself if you want to look at the whole lot…
Cheers!
