On A Hot Summer Day

Crows, strutting among bluebells and buttercups.
The skylark is dancing in the blue, singing absolutely wonderful. Otherwise everything is quiet in the scorching sun.
The deer are hiding in the shade.
It’s very hot, the jaunt is out of this world.

A Refreshing Sight

Rådvad Dam was a welcoming sight after a dusty bike ride. I was greeted with a light breeze and the swallows’ artificial flight. Rådvad Dam is a lovely part of the Mill River in Kongens Lyngby.

Sankthans

This picture painted in 1908 by the Danish painter Harald Slott Georg Moller, is precisely the intense atmosphere I associate with midsummer.
I think it is the finest evening of the year.

Another Time, Another Scene

Another time, another scene and another weather I might add. The latter is essential. The clouds are skilled sparks in the sky 😊

View of the fishing village Sletten. Brisk gale.
Painting by the Danish landscape painter, Frederik Christian Kiærskou, 1805–1891.

The Oak Department

The Great Deer Park has trees for everyone. The old oak department is a department of its own. I’ve found shelter in an old hollow oak on a snowy day.

On The Small Roads

Bike riding on the small country roads in North Zealand is very enjoyable.
Mind you the last picture is the entrance to a farm with highland cattle 🙂

A Bench With a View

A Happy Change

I had a lovely shift in the weather yesterday:

A grey sky is broken,
by a fresh wind.
The smell of brine, and dog rose.
A new poem begins,
one full of play and white horses.

The Western Wind

The weather often changes in Denmark.
The western wind brings a raft of low pressure across the country

An idyllic quiet day by the sea

A creation of some outstanding clouds in the sky.

Kite surfing in icy weather

Storm coming up

Enjoying the day despite the lack of sun

A joyous speed on a beautiful stormy day
