"Kilimanjaro"The Kilimanjaro (Kibo 5895m) is the highest lone standing mountain in the world, a volcano of magnificient proportions in the middle of the African Savannah. On top of it are still enourmous perpetual glaciers that water the whole region around. Those glaciers are disappearing slowly due to the climate change.(dani.Co)
"Erik's dream"In 953 a.C., Erik the Red tried to convince his contemporaries that the new reign he had moved on was green and fertile. None of his collegues agreed completely with that vision after travelling from Iceland to Greenland. Climate change may let Erik's dream become true in the mid/long term future. The photo shows Georgina's farm in the south of Greenland, close to Narsarsuaq.
En el año 953, Eric el Rojo trató de convencer a sus contemporáneos de que su nuevo reino era verde y fértil. Aquellos que le siguieron a Groenlandia desde Islandia no se mostraron del todo de acuerdo con tal visión. Hoy en día, el cambio climático podría convertir en realidad el sueño de Eric en un futuro a corto o medio plazo. La foto muestra la granja de Georgina en el sur de Groenlandia, cerca de Narsarsuaq.(dani.Co)
"Abandoned to the waves"After leaving the icefjord of Illulisat, the largest icebergs of the northern hemisphere are abandoned to the waves. They follow a long way across the ocean and can reach Terranova. It is assumed that the iceberg which sank the Titanic came from Illulisat.(dani.Co)
"What happened at Igaliko?"The norsemen disappeared from Greenland 500 years after Erik the Red's arrival. Nobody really knows what happened to them. Dedicated to my flickr-friend Retinol (dani.Co)
"Runas de arena / Runes of sand"El viento lanza sus runas de arena. Los ojos entornados tratan de leerlas.
The wind draws its runes. The half-closed eyes try to read them.
¡Feliz fin de semana a todos!
Nice weekend to everybody!
PD El viento y la arena tienen su lado poco poético. A pesar del exquisito cuidado que tuve con el material, el 18-200 estuvo haciendo ñic-ñic durante varios meses. ¡Menudo susto!(dani.Co)
