Ripe berries for the picking

On Aug. 10, which was a bright beautiful windy day, Malaya Qaunirq Chapman drove down Ippialuk Road to pick berries with family and friends, and captured this image of a field full of big beautiful aqpik. The temperature hovered around 27C, but there was a welcome breeze to help the berry pickers stay cool, and it kept the pesky flies away. (Photo by Malaya Qaunirq Chapman)
