My OperaA trivial update...
Monday, July 7, 2008 3:17:32 AM
Hi All,
Ohh and welcome to a Duploworld update on nothing special:)
I have been back home in Greenland for a good week.
Time has been spend getting back into work routines again, enjoying the mosquitoe plagued, but indeed wonderful, outdoor surroundings:)
Just a purple flower
Well as seen I have also been chasing the local flora quite a bit:) In fact each summer it seems that new species reveals themselves, while other seems to have disappeared.
Change in climate perhaps or just a sign of different flowers popping up and disappearing again during our short summer?
Well, I have no answer to that question and considering the fact that I have no clue as to what the flowers I shoot are named, well then it seems unlikely I would find the answer anyway:D
White flower thingy
Well set aside my trips to the mountains and flower hunting, I have actually been working for a change:D That and preparing for another trip to Copenhagen... Yeah another trip... Not because I am overly eager to go, but ohh well... it comes with the job I have...
If nothing else it means a couple of days in Copenhagen, a couple of meetings (OK a little more than a couple) and just a night or two to see family and friends. Nothing is all bad it seems:)
Purple flower thingys
Among the most interesting news though is that in just under 6 weeks, my brother will be comming to Nuuk on a 2 week vacation:happy: I already got quite a few things lined up for his visit. Anything from climbing the trademark of Nuuk (sermitsiak), to going way up north for some ice cap hiking.
I do not even know how to describe how much I am looking forward to his visit up here...
Well guess that is it for now, it is late and I still have a few things to do before heading off to bed.
Do take care you all:)

Well I am not a flower guy... a word adopted from our good mr. Hungry IIRC, but seems to cover my lack of knowledge and view towards flowers very well:D

No matter what flower names are and no matter you don't know them, it is still good to show them to us and is still amazing to see your shots! They're beautiful! And no need names to be contempled!
Thanks for sharing again! See ya!

And the white looks like some type of rhododendron
Whatever they are you got some beautiful shots of them

I know more about the things that move than the things that don't

Seems richard got here first though:)
Thank you dear loku:happy:
I am sure you can create equally beautiful flowers if not in picture then in words. Appreciate you stopping by.
Hi Bea,
Thanks for liking them:happy:
You are right I think, in photography unlike many other aspects of life looks does matter, even for flowers;)
Hi Asgeir,
You can, they are extremely small where I live, but in southern Greenland things are actually rather green during summer.
Thank you Richard:happy:
Both for liking my trivial flower shots and for digging up the names.
Appreciate boths.
Great to see you back in here again too:up:
I think you are right peter.
Identifying flowers must be real difficult, truth is that I do not really care what they are called, they are part of what makes nature such a beautiful place and that to me is what matters:)

i especially like the white flowers -- something about the blossoms bunched together in a group makes me very happy and relaxed! deborah.

I greatly appreciate both.
