The Day After…

Posted on by Hanna

When the day grew dark, a rosy glow coloured the sky. A subdued but beautiful fireworks.

Thieves’ corner

Posted on by Hanna

Thieves’ corner! This is where abominable greedy men with murky faces hide their precious loot. They watch greedily, while tons of gold ducats, jewellery and gems are poured into treasure chests.
Are you still with me?

That’s the picture I see when I stumble across the place-name Tyvekrogen in English; thieves’ corner. But alas! The reality is less colourful. At least when I search the web.

On the other hand I’ve never checked those houses. That’s a comfort if you just like me are greatly entertained by good stories 😊

Note: Thieves’ corner is a remote clearing surrounded by scrub and woodland.

This is from a joyous walk between two lakes: Vejlesø and Furesøen.

A little note: The residential roads are among the most expensive neighbourhoods in North Zealand – apart from the fishermen’s cabins 😉

Ancient Roads In Winter

Do you recognise the ambience, the mood in the landscape. I can almost smell the snow. I love that smell.

Anders Andersen-Lundby found many motives in Bavaria where he lived with his family from 1876 until his dead in 1923. He was known for his beautiful snow landscapes.

I always think of Harrevad Bridge when I see Winter Landscape with a Horse-drawn Cart. Most of all because of the history which is attached to the bridge.

Harrevad Bridge, Harrevad Bro, Hareskoven

Harrevad Bridge is part of an ancient ford


Through centuries, travellers crossed the ford at Harrevad Bridge. Down towards the bridge exist several sunken ancient roads caused by people who have walked with their ox and horse-drawn carts in all kind of weather.

I had a wonderful winter walk in Hareskoven years back when snow added a beautiful mood to the landscape. It was only just that I got out of the forest before it got dark, very dark – no moon 🥴🙂

The Weather is Amazing

Rain, lots of rain. In addition, it’s cold, and a gale is sweeping across the country tonight. That’s why I found pictures from Norway. It did rain on that holiday too. But not for four months 🥴🙂

A Temple of Nature

Posted on by Hanna

High upon a forest slope tucked between the trees stands a bench. Sometimes I climb up the slope just to sit in silence on that bench. A seep emerges at the foot of the hill and all kind of birds come here to drink. Even Hugin and Munin ⚡🙂 A temple of nature.

“And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything.” ~ William Shakespeare

The Poetic Fjords

Posted on by Hanna

Gentle, peacefully, picturesque and lovely. That is the Danish Fjords. A breathtaking look will dazzle you when your eyes catch sight of small houses along the coastline and toy-like ferries that serve the islands with goods, mail and travellers.

The first of December

King Frost came to visit

Today was the day we had been waiting for. Sunshine and frost in the grass. I went for a wonderful outing among many 🙂

The Marvellous Sky

Posted on by Hanna

Light! We spoke photography and light.
When I got home I thought about the sea.
Is there anything better than the light by the sea?
It was to be the mountains: Norway, Valdresflya.
The wide view and a marvellous experience of the sky.
The picture below is from Hundested, North Zealand, Denmark.

Enjoying the evening sky

Posted on by Hanna

I came out of the woods just before dusk.
A poplar towards the evening sky was the first sight that met me.
What a sight!
