Cocktail hour under the red sails
The red sails are a tourist gimmick, but the effect is stunning when fog slides around the icebergs creating a shroud of mystery.
The football pitch
Local kids practice their soccer moves on the Astroturf while Disko Bay icebergs, staunch supporters, look on.
Why it’s called ‘Greenland’
Oddly, it’s not called Greenland because of the intensely lush vegetation or the neon mosses of Disko Island. Rather, it was named Greenland as a ruse to encourage Viking settlement. Like many places, it had a name before it was ‘discovered’ by Europeans. The original name reflects the native connection to the land; Kallaalit Nunaat means “land of the people.” From the rich mosses to the columnar basalt and city block-sized icebergs, Greenland is stunning.
The Football Pitch is an amazing shot–well done!
Thank you! It was so fun to see this as every day life – waking up each morning wondering what wandered into the neighborhood during the night.
I’ll buy the top image to add to my Enz collection … 🙂
Fabulous! It’s so nice to have a collector!
Beautiful! Am I a shallow beast to say the the bobbing ice reminded me it’s time for a cocktail?
Adventure forth, Tamara! Thanks for taking us along!
I think you are not shallow at all, but, I am concerned. Who needs to be reminded it’s cocktail hour?
Tamara, thank for being my emissary, traveling the globe to capture moments that I would otherwise never witness. The photographs are stunning!
Thank you! Happy you can tag along virtually.
Wow. Yes, stunning.
Thank you, Linda!
