Not my picture but thought it captured a moment well.
“Witnessing legendary skills in Qajaq/Kayak.
Many thanks to Erland Olsen, who posted one of my picture of young kayaker from Greenland, his post got so much attention, so I decided to post a little series of photos from that day.
In October 2023, Amazing skilled kayaker Pavia Tobiassen called me to tell me, that his sons Sinnii and Ujarneq Tobiassen are preparing to go out, they were to be filmed by Inuk Silis Høegh and Ulannaq Ingemann and invite me to come to take photos if I could.
Worried for the boys, but also knowing they have legendary skills in kayaking, so there was no way I want to miss this.
On the shoreline there were others photographers, and if I were to have a better angle than them, I have to risk some safety, I packed my gears to protect them and get close as possible to the water and start shootings.
When I retreat from shooting I was soaking wet, but luckily not my gears.
And the young men went back to shore safely.
All the best to you and thank you for liking the work with photos I have carried out.
Shots were taken in Nuuk, Greenland

Right, the same scientists who screamed “Global Cooling” back in the 70’s. Fool me once, shame on you…
“On record” is a miniscule slice of the Earth’s history - so I disregard so called experts touting their hockey stick summation of what is normal and what isn’t. Only someone with an agenda would take 100 years of a multi-million year history and peddle it as drastic climate change.
The first is actually a sunrise. The second is the sun setting. However, I agree sunsets are often more spectacular than sunrise but every now and then a sunrise can be too. Clouds are mandatory for the good ones. Here was a sunset as it progressed at Cape Romain that was real eye candy.
You can watch sunrises for a month and not see anything but a red ball coming up, i used to do it. Good, even spectacular sunsets happen more often and are more reliable so you attach that beauty to it. Then, every once in a while, a sunrise will catch you. You need the right kind of cloud cover for both, I believe thy are called the Cumulus Clouds, kind of a scattered clouding with light spaces in it.
Used to be a ritual, catch the sunrise in the morning from a high balcony and catch the sunset in the evening walking West on the levee on Lake Pontchatrain. Then something bad happened and I almost had to defend myself. Kind of took the glamour out of it. Got to get back to it perhaps.
