The morning was sunny, and I didn’t feel that I needed pictures of icebergs in that light so I did a walk around town. Nice walk, but I really don’t get any photography done in urban environments. In the afternoon we walked to the same spot we already visited on Saturday, but this time we…

The weather is definitely looking up now, but it’s very cold. The roads are lethally icy after yesterday’s wet snow. We did a morning excursion to the harbour to shoot old boats, not really very exciting but very enjoyable to be out in that weather. Since the light is so harsh during the day, we…

Last night the fjord was filling up with icebergs again, but this morning it was mostly empty. And the wind has picked up, but at least there’s nothing coming down from the sky which is good. But then after breakfast… it started raining, and we spent the morning indoors looking thru some pictures from the…

Not so lucky with the weather any more. It is snowing, and apparently it will be snowing for two days. And besides the snow, the first thing I noticed after looking out the window is that the icebergs are almost gone! I saw last night how they were drifting to west so I thought the…

Seven hours is all I got. It was a good quality seven hours, but by 5am I just couldn’t sleep any more even if maybe I had needed a bit more. Breakfast is served from 7am, so I got time to go through yesterday’s pictures and write the blog. There’s no free wifi in Greenland…

This is it, I’m finally in Greenland! I flew to Copenhagen last night because I needed to catch an early flight to Kangerlussuaq. CPH turned out to be warm, and the hotel room even warmer. I couldn’t make it cool even after opening two windows and I could barely sleep in that tropic heat (that’s…

If yesterday’s plans didn’t work out, I can’t really cheer for today’s plans either. I was going to meet my friend again in the afternoon and he would then take me to the airport, but things happened and he couldn’t make it and I was already sitting on the train so I couldn’t spend the…

It’s the Finnish Independence Day and my plan for the 365 was to shoot the flag of Finland, seeing it that it will be hanging from every flagpole today. But what I didn’t see coming was the dismal weather and the fact that I didn’t actually get close enough to any flagpoles today. Then I…

Exciting day! This is why I came to Finland this time, to see Kaija Koo in concert in Helsinki Arena! I have actually never been a big fan of Finnish music and I’ve never followed a Finnish artist, except Kaija Koo. Always eagerly awaiting for the next album, sometimes a little bit disappointed by it…

I visited my aunt today. With my mother’s passing, my aunt is the last of the five siblings in her family (five children – three sons and two daughters). But out of those three uncles I should have had, I only ever got to know one, and even he died when I was still a…
