Galery is almost finished --- no, finished.

The photo galery on my Denmark Journey is not complete yet, but being updated, whenever there is time to do so. It contains some collections like "found on the beach", "doors of Denmark" and this series of house inscriptions. They were all in German; and they are all older than 1848 which marks the beginning of nationalism in this region and the end of peaceful coexistence for about 100 years. Some places in South Denmark and North Germany saw battles rage. There is a history museum on the strategic point of Dybboel near Soenderborg, see Google Earth. Today, there is a Danish minority in Schleswig-Holstein and a German group in Denmark.
The following pictures are taken from my Aabenraa galery. There are more of these house inscriptions/Christian mesusot, and I added a translation of the motto or blessing in the galery. But I took them out of my blog again, in order to prevent the misunderstanding that Denmark might have converted me into a pious Christian. --
The region has been a center of brickmaking. A square in town is covered with old bricks.

Good Morning! I'm home.

Just returned from a wonderful 14 days stay in Denmark with more than 700 pics on my camera. What the hell can you photograph in just 2 weeks? Wait and see... I'll be back in a few minutes.
This is the landscape of southeastern Jytland/Denmark. We rent a cottage (not too small). Jens just unlocks it; the key was hidden near the house, we got a mail with the description.





We had a wood stove for colder evenings, and we did not always have good weather, sometimes the wind was cold. And we had a few rainy days. We visited the castle of Soenderborg and more beautiful places. I will compose a website to show you more as soon as possible. Fiber Art? Did not do much, it was too dark in the house and too windy outside. No internet either, only very few German TV stations -- very good for a real recreation!

In this picture, you can see the German coast on the other side of the fjord. The bad weather always came up from there. We did not care, put on the right clothes, and off we went.
