A gallery of faces I will remember from Greenland. From Ilullissat, Kangerlussuaq and Nuuk. The poor musk ox was unfortunately dead, but we saw two in real life…very far away though. I got them in my binoculars, but the camera didn’t make it good enough. On the plate we had them every other day – and they were delicious.
I hope you enjoy.











Great street photography Ann-Christine. I like that you put in the dog.
Thank you, Anne!
What a great gallery, and definitely faces to remember, and considering the harsh environment they look happy!
Thank you, Sue! And that is something Life has taught me – harsh conditions and environment often bring out the most smiling people!
I would agree – the Cubans are amazing
What a great gallery! I especially love the children and the one of the two men talking. I’m itching to go to Greenland, even more so after seeing your posts, but am yet to persuade my husband!
Thank you, Sarah! Well…I hope you succeed!
I’ve shifted him from a no to a maybe!

You caught some happy people’s faces from the lovely Minister to the child who already knows his/her place in the world . . . ________________________________

Such a challenging environment to live in, I imagine, but such happy faces. A lovely gallery Ann-Christine.
Thank you, Jude. Strong, tough people, very resilient. Always smiling!
Such characterful faces, and with an ethnicity that stands out as being different from most Europeans. Is Greenland even in Europe? I’m not sure?
I had to look that up. Greenland voted to withdraw from the European Economic Community in 1985—but its people retain their EU citizenship rights. If only we had retained ours…
Ah, I did not know that. And yes, I can see there’s a problem or two there…
If only ….
It’s not Europe. And these people, the Inuits, are all related to the far northern peoples in Alaska, Canada and Russia.
I guessed as much. They’re more widely spread across the planet than we in the UK tend to realise. Curious, I looked up Greenland, and this is what Google says ‘Geographically, Greenland sits on the North American tectonic plate, making it part of North America. However, geopolitically and culturally, it is closely tied to Europe’ Make what you can of that!

Oh, and see Jude’s comment too.
Some faces just light up a room, don’t they? A beautiful start to the sequence xx
They do! Incredibly friendly and charming people. Tough though, like everyone living in harsh surroundings.
Oh, Leya, they’re all grand images. I like the Cleric a lot, but I confess the pup with the smile is a stand-out favourite for me. Thank you for sharing these gems with us. Brills! pp
♥ Thank you, Pam – you are always so positive!
