    @leonie14kommafünf

    Gemacht habe ich 1.200 Aufnahmen, die ich aber nicht alle nach Flickr stellen werde ;-)

    Ich muß halt aufpassen, das ich meine Besucher nicht langweile, aber so 15-20 Bilder sollten noch kommen.

    That town theoretically should be 1/3 of Greenland. It's my understanding that the natural surroundings can only support around 5000 people...

    Was für ein eigenartiger Reiz kommt von dieser Aufnahme...Sind das Ölbehälter? Ausgezeichnet ist auch die Schärfe der Fotografie, auch in der höchsten Auflösung..

    @SBA73

    Narsarsuaq was my first Greenland destination too (approximate the same year and duration), a great destination!

    @rickipanema3

    I was two times in Brazil, but unfortunately not in Rio De Janeiro.

    @kevindooley

    Greenland has a population more of 55.000 and place is more then enough, but I have no idea how many people the natural surroundings can really support.

    @vestaligo

    Oops, da habe ich meine 'journalistische Hausaufgabe' nicht gemacht, keine Ahnung was in den Behältern ist, vermute aber auch Öl.
