Haida Gwaii
Both clear nights and geomagnetic storms are not that common on Haida Gwaii, so when the two coincide you have to go out!

Sunrise at low tide over Daajing Giids, Haida Gwaii this morning.
I have "ocean glimpses" from my back deck, so I can just barely see the sunrise. I saw that there was some fog over the inlet so I rushed out before work to snap a few shots down by the shore.

Yaguun Suu, Yakoun Lake in the Yaguun Su Conservancy is a large lake NW of Daajing Giids, Queen Charlotte, Haida Gwaii. It is hemmed in by forest-covered hills and in the west by mountains up to 980m. The lake reaches a depth of 90m deep.
Today, clouds and the evaporation from the forests swirled around the hillsides and mountains on a windless day.

We tend to associate Haida Gwaii with rainforests and cedars. However in the north there are extensive bogs. I hiked the Hartie Trail behind Daajing Giids Queen Charlotte yesterday. At first it is a steep climb through the rainforest. But once I reached a plateau at about 380m asl, the forest suddenly opened up and I was walking through open, boggy forest with Labrador Tea and some pine trees. The trail led to this small Scout Lake, which was more like a boggy pond. A pleasant surprise to find this habitat in this part of Haida Gwaii!
