It has been incredibly nice weather today .... IDA has played just outside our house, it is her big "sandbox"......
Mom and Dad enjoyed the good weather on the terrace...............
Sitting on the terrace and enjoy the sun and the prospect is life............
I have dug a tunnel through the snow down to our basement .... Here was our garden chairs.... now they are on the terrace......
The quiet ice covered Ammassalik Fjord............
Because of holidays there will be no new pictures on the blog for a while.... Bye... bye
Outlook from the tray at the school down to the port and Ammassalik fjord....
Here the river tends to run when it is summer...Now it's frozen....
In the gray house, there are washing machines to village residents. You can also rent a room in the house ...
Here you can see our shop and post office. The small houses are warehouses...
It has been a widespread public belief that a city could escape the plague, if a black cat was killed. Therefore, since the Middle Ages symbolic ombragés dogs throughout Europe at Shrovetide. It is believed that it was a cat, it went beyond the barrel because it was the lunar list sacred animals which were then sacrificed in brighter times. The French threw live cats into the Midsummer fire, while the Germans threw them into the fire that burned through Easter. Or, pulled them from a church. In Denmark stopped Monday cats in a barrel and beat on it until it went down. After which the children could beating cat to death with a stick and twigs. 
It is Idas's turn......
Every class have their own barrel. The one who smash the barrel becoms "King of cats", and the one who smash the the last part of the barrel, to the ground becomes "Queen of Cats"
The King: Negatius......
The country behind the coast is a paradise for nature lovers, anglers, mountaineers, hunters, kayakers, skiers and dog sled drivers ... And Little Me :-)
This year, our snow removal equipment are OK... Now the snow is high along the few roads in the village.......In the background you can see we have no ice cover on the inlet...
Some houses are almost buried in snow.......
The road up to the community house.....
One of the many uninhabited houses........
The children eat too many chips and consumption of soft drinks is huge ....
After several days of snow we finally got a break in the snow... In the afternoon sun was shining just over the low hanging clouds..... an adventure land came out of the clouds....
The snow has now reached the railings beside the house.....
On the other side of Ammassalik Fjord was the peaks of the mountains hidden in the clouds...
Today, the arrival of large floe drifting in the fjord
Purple sunset............
February sunset.............
purple reflections............
Only me???
Powerful sunset.....
The picture was taken at 1307. .. in Denmark Strait, you can see the dark clouds coming from the south ... Yet there is no wind in Kuummiut
The picture was taken at 1358. .. The clouds come closer, but still we feel no wind ... Perhaps the storm would'nt reach Kuummiut but stay outside the inlet, we'll see tomorrow ... The weather forecast says up to 25 ms and in the end gusts up to 35 ms...If You are interested in developments on the weather front... click on the icon of Kulusuk weather...It's Alfi's Weatherstation in Kulusuk...He's got weather web cam, too..
Last summer we harvested more fine pepper fruits of this plant ... I have cared for the plant during the winter .. I have stored it in a cold room ... and when the light began to come back, I put it in a window facing the south ... Today I discovered flower buds in the plant ... so maybe we get an early harvest this year ...:-)
Another sunny day .. the country is bright and inviting.... It is a pity that I can not be out there .. I have throat inflammation but have got penicillin.... so I hope I'm healthy again in a few days..
The mountains on the opposite side of Ammassalik Fjord reflected in the thin new ice.... The temperature the past few days have been between -8 and -10 degrees C/ 17,6 - 14 degrees F.. It might be able to get ice on the fjord yet, but it requires quiet weather and frost in many days ... and ... the weather report is promising snow and wind ... ????
My wife Ida and I on the "picnic" trip in the Ammassalik Fjord....
Both enjoy the sunshine..............
What can we wish for more?
My "old" boat at anchor near Qinga.............
In our "backyard" A glacier in the background....
Supermarket and post office close to the port ... The range of products varies widely according to the seasons ... At the post office / bank we can'nt raise money in Dankort no Visa or other cards .. You can not exchange foreign currency ... No service for tourists .. bad!!!
The large tank holds supplies of fuel for the entire Kuummiut.....
