To all my
photographer, artist and other colourist friends: take note! Greenland is the
place to be to enjoy cool natural shapes and shades. Everywhere there are sculptures
in the sea sculpted by the sea and
they take on the most amazing colours.
My most
exciting nightlife experience in Greenland takes place one evening from 10 pm
to midnight, when I once again board a boat and sail south of Ilulissat. The
route is much the same as the one I took earlier in the day to the village of
Iliminaq, but the experience is different.
The boat is
a bit bigger with room to sit indoors when it gets too cold. They serve coffee.
The boat sails slowly so we can enjoy the beauty of the floating natural sculptures.
And it is no longer snowing.
One of the crew fishes up a block of ice with an ancient history for us to touch:
The best thing of all is the light. Ominous dark snow clouds still hover in the sky while the midnight sun lends a warm glow to the icebergs and they take on many shades of white, grey, blue, turquoise and aquamarine. Once again it goes to prove that Mother Nature is the best artist. We humans can merely hope to copy, capture and let ourselves be inspired.
Anyway, enough
babbling from me. I hope you enjoy the pictures!
