Random pictures

Just some random shots from the latest weeks.
Last Sunday, C and I borrowed my parent’s car and drove to the most northern part of Denmark called Skagen. It’s really a beach where 2 bays meet. It makes a funny effect where the waves from east and west clash together.
Skagen is both the area and a city located close by. It’s renowned for being somewhat of an artist’s colony in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Lately it has turned more to a vacation refuge for the richer families in Denmark which makes house prices skyrocket.
It was pretty windy and cold, but we still decided to try to get as far as we could to get to “grenen” (the branch). Even though it was cold we still managed.
Picture quality is not excellent. The humid windy weather gave both camera and ourselves a nice coating of salt and sand.
C posing in front of the sea and an old German bunker.
One of the old bunkers now in the sea. Still won’t die. Germans know how to make concrete.
Working our way towards “grenen”. A look back.
A few minutes later showing the sand and stones we walked in. Picture taken with zoom.
C picking a fight with some seagulls.
At the very top of Denmark we found this little fella. Zoom shot
Not sure if the babyseal was allright, we didn’t want to go to close. We were afraid it might get scared. Suddenly C spotted what at first looked like a shark fin in the ocean.
Fortunately Denmark hasn’t got any dangerous or big sharks to speak of, and it quickly turned out to be babyseal’s mother trying to call it back to the sea.
Another shot from back home near our home. C is feeding the ducks, but when seagulls came round, she decided that they were way more interesting to feed. C told me that before she came to Denmark, she never saw a seagull. That may explain why cuddly ducks weren’t getting any bread or attention. It may also explain why she often bursts out: “Seagull!!! Seagull!!!” when she sees one. Here in Denmark we often tend to get annoyed by them rather than like them, but not C.
One of C’s rabbits spontaneously decided to jump up on C’s back as she was cleaning their cage. They are getting extremely calm around her compared to when we got them. Hand feeding them helps out a bit I guess.
Looks cold up in the north of Denmark – I almost can feel the cold creaping in through often too few layers of clothes.
And thanks for one of the rare photoes of C – even though it’s very little we can see of her hidden in the jacket.
C is difficult to catch on camera. Well, at least on this blog. She is not that keen on being put here, but if you look through my gallery, you may find some more pictures of er where my finger must have “slipped” on the mousebutton ;-)
