My OperaTaking you to the slum
Sunday, October 15, 2006 4:55:30 AM
Hi all,
I have been off grid for something like 36 hrs. Counter says 56 new post to read:faint: Tonight or tomorrow night is the target for that task.
Anyway what has happened in Duplo world? I have been taking pictures, adding to the albums I am working on and walking a lot.
I went on a walk to the slums of Nuuk today, this is where the non educated and poor part of the locals live.
An area practically in the middle of Nuuk, with huge(by Nuuk standards) badly build and poorly maintained apartments buildingss and decay visible from a mile away.
One can almost sense the hopelessness and low living standard just by looking at these bildings. The pictures below kind of says it all.
I could have written a photo essay as per the last post, but to me the pictures really tells the story better than I could ever do. a truely depressing start on todays walk.
To make my personal depression worse I decided to look at the modern architechture in Nuuk, these two pictures shows how it is developing, another bad thing in my opinion. I like the traditional look of Nuuk and the excessive use of colours and wood, But as they say, all good things must come to an end. Luckily only three such buildings exists ( a fourth is under way) and they are not really notisable in the overall picture and impression of nuuk
To get in a better mood I walked to the waterfront and the dominating and traditional looking Nuuk.
More pictures in the album "Nuuk from a foreigner's point o view" I have been unable to edit the album any further, the darn server
will not let me, why the order of the added pictures has not been finalised, however all the pictures are there.
Were are still in autumn and I will not cheat you for a picture that I personally like and thus hope you like as well.
It is shot with my belowed 43mm prime lens, a truely amazing lens to work with and build with a very delicate bokeh.
A semetary view can be beautiful as well.
There are a few more pictures in the album "Nuuk Autumn Pictures"
As usual all pictures in this post a clickable for larger views:)
Well I am off for bed soon. Brunch with some friends tomorrow, got to be in shape for it:)
Take care:)
Thomas
