Eating the World I

Summer barbeque in midnight sun
Kvaløya, Norway




 As all living creatures, we humans eat food. Every day. Several times. 
As opposed to most living creatures, instead of simply eating the food 
we however like to arrange our food so that it looks neat and more appertising 
than it already is by simply being.
 Another interesting feature about this species we call homo sapiens 
is that we tend to photograph 
the neatest, 
weirdest, 
most delicious, 
most memorable,
most random 
etc. 
meals we consume 
so that we can show conspecifics these special intakes.
Here are a few of mine. 
In this first blog piece on Eating the World, the theme is The Arctic, with photographs from Greenland and Northern Norway.
