Greenland is one of the least densely populated countries in the world, the wilderness stretches forever, it’s a raw place, life is tough for humans and animals, but the scenery takes your breath away.
These photos have been taken in Ilulissat, the sea was frozen so fishing was very difficult. To move around to the next villages, other than by boat (if the sea is not too frozen) or by helicopter, the only way is by dog sledge.
The Greenlandic sled dogs are considered to be strong and tough, they are not domesticated dogs like our pets.
Dog sledding is a way of life in Greenland and an important part of the cultural heritage.

DESCRIPTION
AUTHOR
While interiors and food are part of my work, my first love is being among inspirational scenery taking emotive photographs of landscapes. Whenever possible I love to travel to remote and rugged places with my camera.
A consequence of growing up in mountainous areas is a sensitivity to the subtle cycles and seasonal changes of the landscape. The trees, the rivers, the fields, the snow cover, and the mountains, which show different aspects of themselves from one hour, one day, one season, to the next.
My challenge is to capture these subtle mood changes in ways that will induce those who see my photographs to want to preserve and cherish these places also.
The world’s wild places – mountains, glaciers, polar ice are under increasing pressure, both from climate change and the relentless intrusion of human activities.
One way to induce people to value and make an effort to preserve these areas is by sharing images of them. These images need to convey not only the beauty but the fragility of such environments.
