The water is his highway, his yard and his home. He points out his own house - two storeys, blue with yellow trim - gently bobbing just a few metres from Yellowknife's Old Town. "I built it a little bit at a time, like Johnny Cash," Foliot says. He calls himself a second-generation "water squatter," part of a community that has staked out pieces of the bay for the past three decades. Most of the 30 houses on the bay are built on barges kept afloat on empty fuel tanks welded together. Chains anchor the homes in place, and since they don't touch shore, the squatters don't pay property taxes because they don't own land...." |

It had been raining quite a bit this day, and you can see another storm coming from the top right. This Boat dock area is a popular site for park visitors. Mt. Moran is the large mountain in the center of the image.
Shot with a Nikon D5000 and 200mm lens. Due to wind and water movement there are a number of stitching errors, especially on the masts and lines of the boats. I spent a few hours trying to learn how to clean some of these up in Photoshop, but finally realized it would take more time than I had now. I will try to get better at fixing these types of stitching errors in the future. |

The Mighty Mo - in the process of getting refurbished before returning to its berth in formation with the Arizona Memorial. At the time of this gigapan, the cranes were active, and work was still progressing on the plastic tarp-enshrouded superstructure of the ship.
