This week was Greenland.
I read this.. "Greenland's history reads something like this: Nothing much happened, still nothing happened. A couple of guys arrived but left right away. Nothing else happened for hundreds of years. Another guy (with red hair) arrived, stayed for a bit and then left. A few more centuries past and nothing happened. Greenland had no bloody wars, throne stealing or stories of betrayal because of the small population in a big area and just trying to survive in the harsh conditions took up too much time."
A bit harsh but amusing. Despite the barren landscape, I think I would like to visit Greenland, if only to see where Erik the Red landed, and of course to see where Santa keeps his reindeer when he's not using them. Though I would mostly like to go there to see the Northern Lights, i think in such a harsh environment the contrast of such beautiful lights would be stunning.
so this week i did the northern lights..
I had thought I would give blog challenges a miss next year but several people have asked me to run one. So I gave in lol it will be a monthly one this time..

very pretty I love it! and yeah, that's what I found too nutN much except the expanse of beauty in the eye of a southern girl where ice is only found in the freezer or a tall glass of sweet tea.
