Flowers on the mountain

I had a lovely morning with students at school ... In the afternoon I went a long trip up into the mountains north of Kuummiut ... I had taken many pictures ... Here I have chosen to show you some flowers....

Oh..What a beautiful morning

I woke up to beautiful weather .. sunny and no wind ... It is a magnificent sight to meet me every morning when I roll up the curtain (photo)... Today I am at work ... school children are on a run 10 km on a route in Kuummiut .. After the race, the children will have sausages and juice ... This afternoon, I might pick blueberries ...

Puppies

This evening I went for a walk around the village ... The weather was beautiful ... It's been sunny all day, after several days of cloudy weather ... I talked with a team of French kayakers and a team of Austrian tourists ... In returning to the house I saw some puppies that had fun together ...

Who are You???

It is hard being a mother.....

Foggy morning

The day began with Fog .... Later came the sun....And I started painting my house....

The fog came rolling in from the ocean through the inlet......

Some tourists waiting to be retrieved.....

Evening...

Small colorful wooden houses are scattered on the mountain sides, beautifully situated by an almost circular fjord and surrounded by high mountains. Tasiilaq is rightfully considered as one of the most beautiful towns in Greenland. A small river flowing through the Valley of Flowers behind the town divides the town in two. From June to August this valley is the perfect place to have a close look at the unique arctic flora. Around 1,924 inhabitants make the town the largest in East Greenland. Yes, you have reached the outskirts of civilization.
