Song Of The Sea

Posted on by Hanna

Timeless sea breezes,
sea-wind of the night:
you come for no one;
if someone should wake,
he must be prepared
how to survive you…
~ Rainer Maria Rilke

A Danish painter Laurits Tuxen (1853–1927) The North Sea in stormy weather. After sunset. Højen.

The picture below text conjured up lovely days by the sea in the month of May years ago.
We went on excursions in the forest and on the beach. We only used the rented house to sleep in.
The fresh sea air, the smell of sand and the spicy sweetness of resin from the pine trees.
The scents are missing from the picture, but when I close my eyes, the scents meet me as if I were walking through the forest on my way to the sea.

The view of Lilleø and Hornsherred

I’ve had the profound joy to visit my family in Jyllinge for many years. I thought I recognised the landscape in the painting of H.A. Brendekilde and today I found the evidence on a culture site in the neighbouring municipality, Frederikssund.
Brendekilde lived in Jyllinge for several years until his death in March 1942. The painting shows the lovely view over the fjord to Lilleø and Hornsherred.

By the Danish painter, H. A. Brendekilde, 1857–1942.

My Favourite Paradise

Posted on by Hanna

The smell of the sea and the sunlight playing in the waves.
White seabirds and ancient pines distorted by harsh weather.
An old murky house that immediately makes me think of smuggling raids and devious deals.
The old forest with shady winding paths, the moor and the burial mounds. A Paradise.

The white mountains of Denmark

Møns Klint is an outstanding place.
It’s beautiful, dramatic and not without danger.
Weather changes are guilty of many landslides over the years.

Some of the latest landslides:

Sommerspiret, disappeared in 1988.

In 1994, a part of Dronningestolen slipped down to the sea. A French tourist was killed.

A huge landslide happened in 2007, when up to 500,000 cubic meters of chalk, clay and soil together with approx. 100 beech trees slipped 300 meters into the Baltic Sea.

I love snow for the same reason I love Christmas: It brings people together while time stands still…

Caledonia

Posted on by Hanna

Kan I huske mit indlæg ‘Vandretur fra Kikhanerendens udspring til havet‘?

På den tur blev jeg opmærksom på den historie, der knytter sig til Vedbæk Sydstrand og ejendommen, Miramare.
Dronning Caroline Mathilde har boet på stedet, men der har endvidere været militær base og toldsted. I 1811 blev der bygget en skibsbro til toldstedet.

Da Danmarks første dampskib Caledonia begyndte at sejle fra København til Bellevue og videre op til Vedbæk i 1819, blev skibsbroen betragtet som en oplagt mulighed for at modtage landliggerne.
Med sine store skovhjul kunne dampskibet dog ikke lægge til ved broen. 250px-Caledonia2Det gav fiskerne en ekstra indtægt, når de sejlede og bar gæsterne ind på land, som skildret på C.W. Eckersbergs skitse.

På Bellevue Strand blev der ligeledes bygget en anløbsbro i 1819, den blev revet ned i 1970.

Caledonia blev bygget i 1815 i Port-Glasgow af James og Charles Wood. Prøv at se de historiske billeder fra Glasgow på dette link: Sailing down the Clyde

Her finder I Enrum Dam, som jeg kom forbi, da jeg fulgte Kikhanerenden på min vej ud til Vedbæk og Øresund.
Enrum Dam er smukt beliggende, og et meget stemningsfuldt sted.

God tur og husk regntøj 🙂
