so i moved to northwest alberta for work and actually don't mind it, the weather is currently insanely cold with loads of snow that just never seems to stop falling, it's actually quite pretty but ugh
anyway will start with random pics taken over the last 6 months since i've been living here and there
rainbow lake is basically a very small town maybe 850 people in remote NW alberta, about equal distance to BC and and the NWT, it's all oil industry here anyway the pics...
my flight up - landed in grande prairie - 7 hours south of RL...
