We have all been somewhere that we feel a connection with. A place you might even feel instantly at home, like you belong there. Somewhere you will go back to over and over again. Of course, the people who live there contribute a lot to that sense. Personally I have found a couple of places like that. One is Las Vegas and the other is Glenlea, Manitoba (I know, opposite ends of the spectrum). Rankin Inlet is that place for Kate. As soon as she lands I receive a message from her, “I am in my happy place.” (It’s on my bucket list)

Rankin Inlet
“Rankin Inlet is an Inuit hamlet on Kudlulik Peninsula in Nunavut, Canada. Located on the northwestern Hudson Bay, between Chesterfield Inlet and Arviat, it’s the regional centre for the Kivalliq Region. In the 1995 Nunavut capital plebiscite, Iqaluit defeated Rankin Inlet to become territorial capital of Nunavut.” Wikipedia
Kate’s first comment on her first image pretty much sums it up.

Don’t think this turned out too bad using my cell phone. — in Rankin Inlet, Nunavut.

The annual photo with my favourite Inukshuk.
You can tell the star of the show was the “Northern Lights” this trip with Kate’s favourite Inukshuk playing a very strong supporting roll.

Looks beautiful. But why do the Northern Lights need to be so far north?
Yes, so maybe you will come do a book signing here. 😉
I would totally arrange that!
In the meantime, this coming January I’ll be on a monthlong writing residency in northern Illinois. Care to meet me halfway?
Illinois in January…hmmmm…let me think about that.
Make it happen, Michelle! 🙂
The Northern Lights really amazing, Michelle.
Thanks for letting me enjoy them through your eyes. (Or rather your lens)
They are amazing but they are through one of our Photographers lens. Photographer Kate.
Well, in that case, Photographer Kate is amazing.
She really is.
Yes, some places do get a special place in the heart. But I feel like they add up as you travel. So what to pick then?… Thanks for letting us see more of Rankin Inlet through Kate’s eyes. Excellent photos.
Just stopped by again to wish you a wonderful holidays season, Michelle.
You are very kind to think of me. Otto. Health and Happiness to You and Yours through the Holiday Season and in the New Year.
