Street Art in Greenland

As we walked through several small towns in Greenland, we saw a variety of fascinating art works on houses and on commercial buildings. The shop signs and other signs are also often interesting. 









The Inuit sea goddess (or demon) named Sedna or Sassuma Arnaa.
She could cause the disappearance of game animals during hunting season. A Shaman could placate her.

In the small towns of Greenland, the vividly-colored houses clinging to the steep hillsides
make every view seem like a work of art!

Bravo. Quelle variété de peintures murales. Et c'est aussi trtès beau toutes ces maisons colorées. Je me souviens avoir été très frappé par cela lorsque je m'étais rendu en Islande
