And in Black and White. Imagine the grandeur down there, on the surface of our planet, in Greenland.
I wasn’t dressed for it though! Cheers to you and to our beautiful planet.

Amazing photos. You are seeing it all.
I hope too!! At least see as much as I CAN of this beautiful planet. Cheers to you my friend~
BRRRR….Cindy – these are amazing photos. Pristine and awe-inspiring.
The arctic regions of the world make me awestruck. Of course, I want to go to Greenland!!! Cheers & thank you Rebecca~
Is there a synonym for “amazing?” Whatever it is, that’s it about these photos – and a fitting finale to your amazing trip. 🙂
Ahhh, you are the kindest person AND such a good writer. It’s a privelege to know you here in blogdom~
Erik the Red was the master salesman…naming an uninhabitable island Greenland, and an inhabitable island Iceland. Thought it odd the first time to Europe from Seattle…flew north, then south for eight hours. Eight hour time difference. They just suspended me in the air for eight hours while the world turned beneath us. Helium balloons? Wonderful work documenting your trip. Two Libyans liberated me of a camera and ten rolls of film my first time to Europe…all I’ve got is stories. Good for you. Thanks for all the photos.
Later…
Love this story. Yes exactly, “suspended in the air for eight hours while the world turned beneath us.”
Beautifully written……
Normally I sleep on flights overnight. This one was during the day. What a difference a day makes!
International travel is always slightly discombobulating. Wake up in Berlin, go to sleep in California….Amazing really.
Breathtaking images–thanks.
Thank you for appreciating them~
WOW 🙂
Now I’ve added Greenland to my bucket list!! Thank you~
Beautiful monuments. I wonderful what it will look like all melted. 🙁
Oh so sad. I went to Antarctica and fell head over heels in love with it. The thought of the abundant, unafraid wildlife and this pristine wonderland melting away causes me serious grief. What in the world have we done to this gorgeous planet?
Love the strata
Amazing isn’t it! Can’t you imagine the wind and the ice carving this away. We are so puny aren’t we!
true – it’s good to be reminded of this sometimes
Wow, what a wonderful world indeed x
Constantly a source of amazement and wonder~
Very cool pictures. Sure glad I don’t live in Greenland….Colorado snow and cold is enough!
And yet I, born and raised in So Cal, love the arctic….Robert Frost would agree with you though and he, like you, have more of a taste of it~
Breathtakingly beautiful
Isn’t it!! It clarifies our individual importance doesn’t it? Imagine being down there~
gorgeous…definitely something to see, so thank you for thinking to take the photos Cindy!
Thank you Heather, although you are probably quite tired of ice and snow!
lol…it is still beautiful to look at, especially when it is somewhere else!
Wow!
My thoughts exactly!
Looks all blue, white & grayl ! Where’s the “green land” ??? Great pictures Cindy. The zoom on that camera is super – 36,000′ !!! Wow! Welcome back home.
Paul
Thank you cuz! I think he name was a boo boo!!
You said it Cindy, MAGNIFICENT. 🙂
Thank you as usual for understanding!
Can you believe that Greenland was abandoned by farmers hundreds of years ago because of “GLOBAL COOLING?”
My son would second this. He’s a bio grad student and talks about the cyclical nature of profound climate change~
WELCOME HOME!
Thank you my friend! The cows literally ran to greet us and if you don’t believe it, I have photos to prove it!!
Great photographs! It looks like a scene from Game of Thrones or something. I’m usually asleep over Greenland. Welcome back, I’m sure the holler critters missed you,
They did!!! Check out the calves in my next post! 🙂 & yes it does remind one of Game of Thrones, beyond the wall, “winter is coming….”……Cheers and welcome home to you too…if you are home!!
Wow! These pictures are amazing. I’m afraid to say I think that’s the only way I’d want to see Greenland — from the air! You’ve shared an amazing journey.
Thank you so much and glad you enjoyed it!
Wow! That is just spectacular!
Yes I think so too. Stunning Greenland. Thank you & cheers to you~
I do some housework, sweeping and dishes while I wait for your post to finish loading but in the end it is so worth seeing what you have shared for the day. Very nice shots!
So glad you enjoy them, but not happy to hear they take so long to load…..need to be more selective, but it’s hard for me!! Cheers to you Eunice~
it is OK I get my work done then I sit and ENJOY I have an ancient computer not your fault 🙂
It’s Miller time…Eunice Miller that is!
wow!!! That is just amazing. I can’t imagine what it must be like down there. Now I have to go to google maps and do some zooming into Greenland to see what’s there. Great great photos!
I already did this! LOL! Greenland looks incredibly beautiful and well worth a visit. Cheers & thank you~
Such natural beauty!!!
Isn’t our planet remarkable!! Thank you~
my goodness that is so beautiful!!!! Don’t forget I am going in your suitcase next place you travel. 🙂
Deal! I’m saving room………Cheers & happy Friday!
Awww yes, the scenic route. Pretty isolated isn’t it? To think ancient beings landed there in their viking row boats and thought, “hey, we’re here!”
Quite amazing. I would like to visit…..haven’t checked out lodging options yet though!!
awesome images!!!!
Aww, thank you!! Much appreciated~
Really fabulous shots, Cindy. 🙂
It’s beautiful down there isn’t it??? Now I’m learning about Greenland……who knows??? Thank you for your kind comments~
Wow! New Zealand used to be mis-located (is that even a word?) by people when I was growing up and thought to be “somewhere near Greenland.” We have stunning scenery but vastly different to those amazing pictures you have been able to take above the wonderland.
I like mis-located and if it’s not a word, you should get credit for inventing it! I have some vague memory of explorers discovering Greenland and mistaking it for some where else thinking it was forested. I think it is technically part of North America, but practically identifies itself with Europe. My husband went to Greenland’s tourism page and it looks like an incredible place to visit. I am going to look at the website now. I wonder if they have polar bears there. I want to see polar bears….
Never knew Greenland was so beautiful!
Neither did I. Guess what? Jim & I are looking in to going to Northern Greenland in 2014 on a Hertgurten icebreaking ship to see the polar bears, whales and northern arctic! Woo Hooo!
