Who is at the door….

  

Celebrating Halloween Halloween in Denmark is a new idea, and still not a tradition, but the interesse is increasing as events happens.

The american ambassador in Denmark James Cain who is living in this area, invited all children at the neighborhood, to come and have some candy at his house. A google translation of the news (demands some creativity to read) here. The head line says: “You haven´t seen the ambassador like this before”

Greenland.

This beautiful photo is from my husbands travel to Greenland. I was planning to show it to you today. This morning, the Newspaper headline  was saying:

New satellite data are showing a new record for the melting of the ice cap at north . Researchers estimate that there is a risk of up to two meters sea rise during this century.

Airport Manitsoq, Greenland

 

The weather is not inviting for photo walks today, so instead of showing you a gray rainy day, I want to show more photos from Greenland. This is the small airport at Manitsoq.

Wintertrees festival

 

The trees are preparing for the great “winter tree” festival, to the delight of my blogfriend Babs and other winter-tree fans. Maantas too, maybe? There are still leaves to see, at most trees, but not for long.  I am ready with the camera!

Gray “potatoes holiday”-day

All the schools are closed this week, because of the yearly autumn-holiday or “Potatoes holiday”. This holiday are always in week number 42 (we are using week numbers, I understand that it isn´t common everywhere?) and originally made to make it possible for the school children to work at the farms with collecting potatoes. Today the potatoes holiday are a week full of entertainments for kids or holidays far away from Danish potatoes. For the ones that stayed at home, this was the sight of day 4.
