One of the things I absolutely love doing in my leisure time is capturing photos of everything that catches my eye. Living in the stunning landscapes of Greenland has amplified this passion, as the natural beauty here is truly breathtaking! With the magnificent icecap, awe-inspiring icebergs, vibrant sunsets, enchanting sunrises, and mesmerizing Northern Lights, I am continually inspired to take pictures of everything around me! Over the years, I’ve amassed thousands of photographs spanning more than forty years, with the last 13 years dedicated to the wonders of Greenland.

There is just something wonderful about nature that I find impossible to resist. I want to sit amongst it, connect with it, and fully embrace the awe-inspiring beauty all around me. Here in Greenland, there truly is no place like this stunning country. Most of it remains unspoiled, and the Inuit people have dedicated centuries to protecting it while living harmoniously with nature.

The photo above of the Northern Lights was taken while we were exploring the enchanting wilderness. In that remote location, there are no distractions from cell service or city lights, allowing us to fully appreciate what nature has to offer. We embark on boat trips that typically take two or three hours to reach our destination, where we relish spending a night under the stars before moving on to the next beautiful spot. Hunting, fishing, hiking, and enjoying the wonders of nature fill our days. I absolutely cherish these adventures because they allow us to escape the hustle and bustle of the world, immersing ourselves in the incredible beauty of the outdoors. No phone, no internet, just nature in all her magnificent glory!

Even in the small town we live in there are ways to enjoy nature. During the winter months when the lake freezes, we are able to hike across the lake and enjoy it in ways that can’t be enjoyed when the lake is free of ice. A lot of times we’ll take our dog with us so that we can hike across while the weather is behaving and the sun is at the right angle along with the temperature being just right with no wind! Perfect time for a hike! So basically taking photos and enjoying nature are what I love doing during my leisure time.

These photos showcase only a fraction of what I capture here in South Greenland. I have a genuine passion for documenting every remarkable sight I encounter.
