An inaccessible lake path

Posted on 17. November 2017 by Hanna

You don’t get very far with that pram. A young mother was fighting her way through a muddy forest floor among wild tree roots and even some of the minor slopes.
She looked at her smart phone. I saw a lake on the map, she said. A lake usually has a path. She was deeply frustrated. She had a wish to walk around the lake.
I told her about the neighbouring lake, Lyngby lake, whose path is much more suitable for a pram.
The path around Bagsvaerd lake is lovely but it isn’t suitable for prams all the way around because of a wonderful slightly impenetrable nature 🙂
I had a nice stroll from Frederiksdal to Sorgenfri. A wonderful varied walk.

Still round the corner we may meet…

Posted on 12. November 201715. November 2017 by Hanna

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower, leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!
J.R.R. Tolkien

Passing Lilla Dan On Our Way

Posted on 9. November 201716. November 2017 by Hanna

We had a great walk along Øresund.
A walk between the statue of the great explorer Knud Rasmussen and the harbour of Skovshoved.
Great was the joy when we saw Lilla Dan.
This fine ship was built in 1951 as a training ship and has been in The shipping company, J. Lauritzen A/S ownership since then.
Everyone who has built model ships has built Lilla Dan, okay maybe not all.
The schooner is a decor for the eye. The ship has many nice details and I never get tired of admiring it.
The crew was busy maintaining the ship and they are doing a great job as you can see.
Today Lilla Dan is a chartership.

After The Storm

Posted on 1. November 201714. November 2017 by Hanna

The weather after a storm is often very tempting.
I had a very nice walk around Lyngby Soe though the wind was still strong.
At a point the path was flooded and I had to choose another way out of the bog.

Quiet before the storm

Posted on 28. October 201714. November 2017 by Hanna

Tonight a storm will hit Denmark. The water level is expected to reach new heights.
Many homes are threatened by flood waters.
The Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde ensures the museum towards the sea while the waves are already licking up the walls.

Some days ago I was lucky enough to walk in this wonderful bog on a day full of sunshine.

Acquainted With The Night

Posted on 26. October 201714. November 2017 by Hanna

I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain—and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light.
I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.
I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away an interrupted cry
Came over houses from another street,
But not to call me back or say good-by;
And further still at an unearthly height,
One luminary clock against the sky
Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.
I have been one acquainted with the night.
Robert Frost

Weather Forecasting

Posted on 22. October 201714. November 2017 by Hanna

But who wants to be foretold the weather? It is bad enough when it comes, without our having the misery of knowing about it beforehand.
