A few days ahead the calendar says “Summer”. Only 3 nights ago we had frost at night and daytime temperatures below 10 dgr. C.

But Sunday at last we’ve got temperatures in Denmark that feel like summer: 20 – 25 dgr. C.

Now I can see the summer reflecting in the lakes (Stadion Søerne, Århus):

The National Museum of Australia in Canberra is an an overwhelming experience.

Therefore I have chosen not to focus on the content of the museum. I would only encourage everyone to visit Australia and Canberra to experience this museum – and the city’s other museums – such as the National Gallery of Australia.

My photos are instead of the unique architecture of the museum buildings

Canberra - National Gallery of Australia.

The Aboriginal Memorial.

When I visited this excellent art museum in January 2011, I only managed to take this photo in the museum – before I was made aware, that photography was not allowed there.

I hope the museum will forgive me, that I bring this photo! Maybe forgiveness

Bushfires in Australia can be both harmful – and useful. Australia’s indigenous people used controlled bushfires to take care of the landscape.

Minus 23 degrees Celsius, the lowest temperature measured here for 26 years ….

These days the tennis tournament, Australian Open, is played in Melbourne.

I was in Australia last year at this time – and followed the tournament – on TV!

Australian Open 2011: Novak Djokovic is defeating Andy Murray in the men’s finals last year:

I followed the match – and enjoyed an Australian beer – which  was tasty, but very expensive (even compared to Denmark!).

As in many other cities contrasts meet in Melbourne. Old and new. Nature and culture. Warm and cold. Green and concrete. Joy and sadness. Life and death.
