This is my last post from “Down Under” for a while.
Time to have a look at things here around me in Denmark
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.
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
Central Canberra – viewing over Lake Burley Griffin to Parliament House, which is dug into Capital Hill, its roof covered with grass and topped by an 81 m high flagpole with a double-decker-sized flag.
In front of this is the white building: Old Parliament House, now a Museum of Australian Democracy.
In Port Adelaide, South Australia, we studied the local bottlenose dolphins and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere on the harbor and in the town.

An Aboriginal Indigenous Australian musician played the didgeridoo.
He stands beside a stunning work of art – consisting of two large, shiny balls on top of each other.

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!).
In this post there are none of my photos (my first post without a photo!).
This post marks the end of a series of entries from Denmark. And the beginning of a series of entries from my trip last year to Australia.
Before I move on to Australia, I will give my contribution to Scott Thomas’ latest Assignment “Rule of Thirds” - If you want to participate too, you must make your contribution before Wednesday, January 18, 2012.

The Australian artist Ron Muecks (b. 1958) has created the sculpture “BOY”. It is the landmark of ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum. The five meters tall and 500 kg heavy boy is squatting in all his impressive glory at the northern end of the museum’s special exhibition foyer.

AROS is the name of our Art Museum here in Aarhus. A modern and new museum, which already after a few years has distinguished itself in the Danish museum world and abroad.
In 2011 a new permanent exhibition opened, “Your Rainbow Panorama”, a gigantic installation with a weight of 250,000 kg, built on top of the entire museum building (whose structures had to be reinforced to carry this construction)!!
The artist behind this artwork is Olafur Eliasson. He has
I wish you all a Merry Christmas!
This is not a Christmas elf – or me – but a boy. And there will be more about him in my first posts in 2012. After Christmas my next post will be my contribution to Scott Thomas’ Asssignment “Four Seasons”.
In my last post i visited Frijsenborg near Hammel, Denmark.
Here are two more summer photos from here :
In August I drove with my son to Viborg to buy a used bike for him.
On the way I persuaded him to make a stop at the manor Frijsenborg near Hammel, where I had not been for a long time…
It was a nice revisit!

An August summer evening I passed Ejer Bavnehøj.
I was impressed by how different the evening sky looked like – just within a few minutes ….

Summer has come to an end, but it is also time for some more good summer memories….
This summer I visited Sjælland ( Zealand ), which is the largest of the Danish islands. Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, is is located on the east coast of Zealand at Øresund, which is sound between Denmark and Sweden.
In Copenhagen there are many interesting sights. Museums, castles and other buildings, the Little Mermaid – and much more, but
Driving B400 through the Murray Valley towards Albury I photographed this Aussie chap in a small town:
In recent times I have been reasonably busy with anything other than blogging – I started a new job in June (I will tell more about this later 
) and have just been on two weeks holiday by the West-coast of Jutland (many of you will know I love spending much time there – and some new photos from there will also likely soon show up here – in between more travel photos!).
