Northern lights in Canada lonely tree in the middle of a lake in northern Saskatchewan - with the aurora dancing over head Northern lights in Canada Imagine yourself waking up in a maze. After hours of searching but not finding the exit, you come to the conclusion that you’re completely lost. Bummer maybe, but an opportunity for sure. Because with everything and everyone gone – there’s only one person that you can turn to. And that person is… you. You will find yourself, because being lost means there’s nothing else to focus on except yourself. You are the only person that’s with you 24/7. From the second you were born until your last breath, nobody spends more time with you, than you. For that reason, starting a really loving friendship with yourself is a really good idea. Yet, in life we don’t always connect that well with ourselves. We are so focused on the outside world, that it becomes the compass we live by. Until the moment we get lost and the outside world is no longer the beacon that we can hold on to. Then we can only hold on to ourselves. That’s what I mean with getting lost is a great way to find yourself.

Aurora Borealis Saskatoon Chasing the aurora borealis has become a passion of mine once I moved to northern Saskatchewan (Pinehouse Lake). After speaking with people who message me weekly on my Facebook page from around the world who had never had the opportunity to see the lights, I realized just how special it was to have grown up watching them dozens of times throughout my childhood. Saskatchewan is perfectly situated to experience some impressive showings of the northern lights. Running from the 49th to the 60th parallel of latitude, there is a high probability to see the lights during a geomagnetic storm.

It is sometimes known as wide format photography. The term has also been applied to a photograph that is cropped to a relatively wide aspect ratio, like the familiar letterbox format in wide-screen video. While there is no formal division between "wide-angle" and "panoramic" photography, "wide-angle" normally refers to a type of lens, but using this lens type does not necessarily make an image a panorama. An image made with an ultra wide-angle fisheye lens covering the normal film frame of 1:1.33 is not automatically considered to be a panorama. An image showing a field of view approximating, or greater than, that of the human eye – about 160° by 75° – may be termed panoramic. This generally means it has an aspect ratio of 2:1 or larger, the image being at least twice as wide as it is high. The resulting images take the form of a wide strip. Some panoramic images have aspect ratios of 4:1 and sometimes 10:1, covering fields of view of up to 360 degrees. Both the aspect ratio and coverage of field are important factors in defining a true panoramic image. In this situation I just took 3 photos and stitched them together using Lightroom.

Initially situated downstream on the Churchill River, its relocation was encouraged near the future site of the Island Falls Generating Station, eventually altering traditional lifestyles and shaping the community's growth. The transformation continued as the Island Falls Generating Station reshaped the region, leading to Sandy Bay's establishment as a Local Community Authority in 1965. However, with the station's switch to an automated system in 1966, employment opportunities dwindled. Subsequent developments, like the introduction of an all-weather road in 1967 and the designation as a northern village in the 1980s, brought necessary services but also shifted the community's economic focus toward tourism. Today, SaskPower oversees the dam's operations, now entirely automated. While the community sustains a local store, residents often access additional supplies and groceries in Flin Flon, Manitoba, reachable via a two-hour drive along gravel and paved highways.

We are currently witnessing the most intense auroral activity in over two decades < Back "Stay grounded. Keep looking up." Dec 23, 2025 We are currently witnessing the most intense auroral activity in over two decades (that's what they are saying anyways) According to the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center, Solar Cycle 25 is peaking right now, with high sunspot numbers and frequent X-class solar flares expected to continue through 2026. This "Solar Maximum" is a rare window where the Aurora Borealis is visible at mid-latitudes, including the northern United States, the UK, and Central Europe.

Thanks to the generosity of a local teacher, we've just received a fantastic donation of cell phones for our youth programs. These devices will be key to supporting our therapeutic photography and sports mentorship initiatives, with Kim Dave , our summer programming coordinator, leading the charge. We're gearing up for a big launch for the summer, so stay tuned for more updates as we put these tools into action for our community! How You Can Help: I’ll be honest—one nurse and a pile of donated gear can't do this alone. This program only works if the community steps up to protect and support our youth. If this initiative helps even just one kid, it’s worth it, but we need backup. To Volunteer: We need adults to step up for the photography club, sports sessions, and summer events. If you can give some time, contact Kim Dave or reach out directly to the school to get involved. To Donate Gear: If you have functional gear or cell phones to contribute, contact me directly . Let's work together with the school to make this happen for our youth.

People see my photos of the Aurora and they see beauty. But what they don’t always see is the impact. < Back Breaking the Silence: Why We Chase the Light 🌌 Dec 25, 2025 Dre Erwin People see my photos of the Aurora and they see beauty. But what they don’t always see is the impact. Over and over again, I have sat with youth in the North who have carried weights no child should bear. Repeatedly, I’ve had kids look at me and say the words they were too afraid to tell anyone else—about their struggles, their emotions, and their thoughts of suicide. In many cultures, we are taught to keep those feelings locked away. We are taught that silence is strength. I am here to tell you that silence is a lie. I know this because photography helped me first. It gave me a way to process the world when words weren't enough. Now, I see it happening in Sandy Bay and beyond. When these kids get behind a lens, they aren't just taking a picture; they are finding a way to speak. They are finding a reason to stay. Therapeutic Photography isn't just a hobby for me—it is a lifeline. If it can help me, and if it can help these kids find their voice after years of silence, it can help anyone. This Christmas, I’m in Regina for a moment, but my mission is louder than ever. We will not be silenced. We will keep using the light of the North to pierce the darkness of the unspoken. To the kids who think no one is listening: I see you. The light sees you. Keep holding on.
