Pictures

I have lots of pictures from Uganda, Greenland etc. If you want a cute picture of a cobra or whatever, get in touch and I can see if I can find one in my (completely disorganised) archives!

Here are a few samples to give a feel for what these places look like.

Uganda

Elks also live in the area (note that this picture was not taken by me)

Birds such as skuas nest in the valley in summer

Willowherb (Epilobium sp.) and other Finland-like plants grow here
