The Place We Live

Title: "The Place We Live" Greenland 2011 Tiniteqilaaq is a small village in Greenland with nearly 130 inhabitants. The village is located in a wild and primeval landscape; its houses reflect the hard conditions where its people live. Built between rocks and ice, the houses are often brightly colored but they are weathered reflecting a continuous hard life. Nature often prevails and some houses remain as skeletal structures, empty shells getting sadness to the observers. Simple houses for simple people, living on hunting and fishing: maybe a plain life but not so easy!
