Everybody has heard of the Canadian Winter. In Canada, everybody “knows” about the “Winnipeg Winter”, apparently the coldest of all places on earth in winter. So what does the

Sometimes I’m wondering why I don’t shoot so much in the night in summertime. I guess that that’s because the nights are shorter. Perhaps because there are mosquitoes. I really don’t know.
