Yukon - The Magic and the Mystery!

I hope that the following photos will give you all a sense of the sheer beauty and majesty of Canada's North! Enjoy! © Photos by B.J. Shanahan.

The sheer beauty of the north is mirrored in Atlin Lake. The water on Atlin Lake was so calm as to create a natural mirror. The calmness of the Yukon. The majesty of the north. It has to be seen to be truly appreciated. Such beauty! Once you've seen it, you never want to leave. A lone dead tree oversees the beauty of the Yukon. A picture postcard of serenity!
