And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
The old church in Nuuk, to be exact. The mountain "Sermitsiaq" can be seen in the background. Also in this pic is a children's school, a teacher's college, a dorm for students, a daycare for kids, and a decent-but-not-amazing display of northern lights. Behind the photographer is the old harbour, and to the left, the entrance to the fiord. There's plenty of reindeer to hunt there, further inland, in autumn. There used to be good hunting of ptarmigan in winter on the hillsides on the top left of the photo, but I don't know if the new airport being build along the hillside has ruined that.
