Gylling Næs # 2
Here we are again – visiting Gylling Næs an evening in June.
Nothing but birdsong can be heard. Visual senses are sharpened in the fine evening light. The wild fence along the coast has many colors and shapes.

This small road is ending by the coast a little further ahead.
This evening I was visiting Gylling Næs, a foreland not far from Alrø (see previous entries).
I was in company with my friend – and we again were fortunate having fine weather with sunshine, no wind and mild temperatures!
On an evening like this I can’t imagine a more peaceful and beautiful spot than this area.
The only other sounds which could be heard were the birds singing and our own voices.
And clicks from the camera……
So look forward to more photos from here!

A Danish island

In this post – and in the following posts – I will show some glimpses from a lovely summer evening, when I visited the island, Alrø, in company with a good friend.
All photos are captured form the area around the jetty on the island’s southwestern tip.
On a map of the island you can see, that you can sail from the jetty towards the south to the harbor Snaptun on the other side of Horsens Fjord. And you can also see, that to the north-east of Alrø there is a causeway, which is the common gateway to enter the island.
On a list of the largest islands of Denmark Alrø is number 30.
There are “about 406 islands in Denmark”….:
“Different lists of Danish islands vary, depending on how the word “island” is defined. According to the official Danish Government definition, an “island” needs to be surrounded by water at least one-half metre deep and also have land vegetation growing on it to be recorded as such.”…..”The number of islands in Denmark changes from time to time. New islands are occasionally formed by sedimentation.”…….”Islands may also disappear.” (Wikipedia – read more here).
The water in Horsens Fjord is pretty deep in the fairway into the harbor of Horsens, which is one of the larger cities in Denmark: Horsens was already in the Middle Ages a major city, and is today Denmark’s eighth largest city with approx. 55,000 inhabitants.
Watch for the following entries here on my blog – and see more photos from Alrø this evening 🙂

Giber Å – Fulden.
In the small village Fulden – a few km’s east of my hometown, Mårslet, – the small road through the village crosses Giber Å. From this bridge this scene is captured in late May.
Welcome to the Flower Show!
(Please clock on photos for best view!)
In the middle of May I photographed this street in Højbjerg, Århus. The name of the street is P. Mønsteds Allé.
I was overwhelmed by the flowering Japanese Cherry trees – that created a tunnel of flowers from all the trees in the avenue. During an hour I captured many photos from different spots in changing light. The different light gives different colors to the flowers.
Here are 3 different photos from this afternoon.
Now this wonderful flowering has ended – but I am sure I will return to see this flower-show again in the coming years…….
Thanks to my friend and former colleague, Karin, for for making me aware of this beautiful Avenue!
I love these trees in May – and I have been photographing flowering Japanese Cherry trees before 🙂
