The Whitehorse Photo Club has submitted its final showcase submissions for 2022! Check back in 2023 for even more amazing images! The photo was taken on the South Klondike Highway (Carcross Road) just before Annie Lake on June 11, 2022. Mamma bear had two grizzly cubs (this was one of them) with her and they were on the side of the road scrounging for food. Photo” Maureen Caron This was taken on November 3, 2021 in my yard. The Aurora danced all night, with brilliant colours. Photo: Alice Purser I took this photo of our German Shepherd, Lily, in our field. I was trying to capture her power and beauty in motion, and feel this photo captured those qualities. Photo: Carol Foster This photo was taken in June, 2020, shortly after the new boardwalk was created. Walking along this winding wooden walk over muskeg-like terrain leads to McIntyre Creek on its way to the Yukon River. Photo: Gerry Steers In September of this year, I was driving up in Granger and the sunlight filtering through some trees brought me to a stop. I used Intentional Camera Movement to capture the woodlands at the height of the Autumn colours. Photo: Janet Webster Beauty is all around us, sometimes we just need to stop and look. This raven was hanging out on a freezing cold winter morning at the parking lot of the Superstore in Whitehorse. One might recognize the blue and red stripes in the background. Photo: Ilona Maes I frequently enjoy a Millenium Trail stroll carrying my Nikon D500 with a Tamron 150-600 looking for birds or interesting water action. Crossing the Millenium Trail Bridge I noticed both. I snapped a couple images, but was not overly excited about them. I walked a little further along the Bridge, looked back and was intrigued by this new perspective. The bird was gone but the curve of the rock, the water falling off the rock, and the meshing of the water and rock lines worked for me. Photo: Walter Gutowski Canadian favourite singer/songwriter, Serena Ryder, rocked the huge crowd gathered in Shipyard’s Park in Whitehorse on September 10, 2022. She gave an energetic and heart-felt performance as part of the finale of the Yukon Arts Centre 30th Birthday Bash. I was surrounded by excited fans, in the brilliant afternoon sun, enjoying her music when stage lighting trimmed Serena with red highlights. A grateful visual memory of a wonderful musical celebration. Photo: Ray Marnoch The photo was taken on the South Klondike Highway (Carcross Road) just before Annie Lake on June 11, 2022.
