Copenhagen in December

Welcome Winter Solstice

Welcome to Winter Solstice. It’s a time for celebration. A time for celebrate the return of light and it certainly is dark and gloomy in Denmark today. I found pictures in my archive to light up the day.

 

The Sanctuaries

Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life.
Hermann Hesse, Wandering

Magic Trees

In my Danish post about a walk in Paradise you can see where I got this motive ❤

The Great Door Opens

Today I had a dazzling walk in bright sunshine. I almost got a feeling of spring ❤

As you sit on the hillside, or lie prone under the trees of the forest, or sprawl wet-legged by a mountain stream, the great door, that does not look like a door, opens.
Stephen Graham, The Gentle Art of Tramping

This lovely view was part of my exclusive walk from one lake to another. You can see the rest of the pictures on my Danish blog; Naturvandring

Revisiting a Lake in My Old Neighbourhood

Most of us have tried this. Having a revisit with a beloved neighbourhood where nature has made our lives richer.
The lake Bagsvaerd Soe is a place for a lot of activities and at the same time it has an exceedingly recreational value with beautiful views over the lake.

Every leaf is gone and it is waiting for the spring

Have you ever noticed a tree standing naked against the sky,
How beautiful it is?
All its branches are outlined, and in its nakedness
There is a poem, there is a song.
Every leaf is gone and it is waiting for the spring.
When the spring comes, it again fills the tree with
The music of many leaves,
Which in due season fall and are blown away.
And this is the way of life.
Krishnamurti

The Bridge, A Magic Place

The Other World, an advent calendar produced by Danish television has scenes which take place on this bridge.
The bridge is a magical place for Anna, one of the main characters in the story.
When Anna wants to ponder, this is the place where she will go to.

Years ago we had some beautiful snowy days. Because it is the first of December, I want to show you some of my pictures from these days.
