Windows on the World - Q is for a Quest in Qaqortoq

This month I am participating in the A-Z Blogging Challenge where I will endeavour to post on this blog each day. I will be sharing photos of Windows that I have photographed on my travels and highlighting from A-Z the places where I found these Windows on the World.

The letter Q was quite a challenge for me. I have visited a few Q places including a couple of Queenstowns but I don't have many Q windows in my photo albums. So I am returning to Greenland and sharing some photos from Qaqortoq (a town with three Qs.)

Windows on the World - N is for Not Many in Nuuk

This month I am participating in the A-Z Blogging Challenge where I will endeavour to post on this blog each day. I will be sharing photos of Windows that I have photographed on my travels and highlighting from A-Z the places where I found these Windows on the World.

Last year our cruise ship called at a few ports in Greenland including the capital, Nuuk. I had expected to find a bunch of igloos or tents made out of skins but found a modern city with many new multi-storey buildings most of which appeared to be pre-fabricated. There was a sameness in the many windows we saw in Nuuk.

I'd love to have had a translation of the sign on our tour bus window

Interesting angles on a modern house

I hope all those windows are double-glazed

Looks like a gallery
