Sun tent on the beach

A mum her kids enjoyed a very hot, sunny day at the beach near Heatherhill in northern Zealand (Nordsjælland) with a small sun tent on the beach to cover for the sun.

Cool colours

This image just "screamed" to be taken - the wild colours of the hoses on a carwash spot at our camping site.

Heath - the nature of Jutland

Large parts of Jutland was originally heath. Dalgas discovered a way to cultivate the heath and use it for agriculture. There are still some heath in Jutland, and few other parts of Denmark.

Highway

A rare sight. An almost empty highway close to Copenhagen. Timing is everything, the picture is taken a sunday before noon. Usually these lanes are packed with iron.

Camping

Lot of Danes spend their weekends in the summertime camping. It is a fun, friendly society on camps around the country. Some have the caravan on the same spot for years, while others drive around and visit camps all over the country, or rest of Europe for that matter.

Remnants of summer

I found this in the woods. Several months earlier someone had a great time with a one-time barbecue. The plastic bag and the metal from the barbecue was still available, 6+ months later. Oh, well :-(

Long dark tunnel

A tunnel below the rails in Albertslund. It is part of a system of paths reserved for cyclinbg and walking between Taastrup and Albertslund. A good place to walk the dog or just enjoy nature.

Working on the pier

This must be the modern version of a pier worker. No more dirty clothes and har physical labour. A sunny day, an laptop and a thermos with coffee is the modern worker seen at the harbour. This picture is from the part of Copenhagen known as Christianshavn.

Crab

The picture is from Danmarks Akvarium (Denmark's Aquarium) a large collection of live fish and sea creatures from all over the world. Some of the animals are part of the "petting zoo", where you can touch the animals under water.

A drain. A small stream has this drain to lead off water on wet days of the year.

Nice darkred townhouse

Typical Copenhagen style townhouse. Often houses are painted in vidid colour on the upper floors, while the ground floor is usually a shop of some sort. The ground floor houses a restaurant called 'Hvide Lamz' (eng. White Lamb)

This weather is rare at times

Even though we are in Scandinavia in Northern Europe, snow is not as common as one should think. At least not this winter. But today we got what we deserved :-)

Our bicycles in our garden almost totally covered, the car look like af white dune and work was done from home. Oh well, soon it will be over...
