Summer night at the harbor

It is still dayligt almost the whole day ... Both children and adults take advantage of the light-time and the lovely weather ...They enjoy life just now , and don'nt care about tomorrow and I am sure that I can learn a lot about enjoying life right now from the residents here in Kuummiut...

Anna and Viggo catch fish in the harbor....

Before Thunder

After a long period of very hot weather, the weather has changed here in Denmark ... Thunderstorm sweeping action against the country ... The wind comes from west and south directions ...
The clouds rise more and more ....
The clouds change color from white to black
In a Short time thunder comes rolling.....
