In dry years the uncontrolled bushfires are a

Mac er blitt 12 uker og han har også fått opp tempoet. Han vokser utrolig fort og det er nesten så vi ser forandringen fra dag til dag.
Det har IKKE vært noe tempo når det gjelder fremdrift på gameroom i helga.

January 30, 2010 I published my first post here on this blog. Actually I totally forgot the 2 year anniversary of my blog here recently!

My last post “Danish winter landscape” – was my post number 200…..!

These weeks I am attending a training course in repairing and maintenance of gardening machinery at Jordbrugets Uddannelsescenter , Malling  Department.
These photos were captured right outside the buildings, where the course is held. Here are folds for horses: One of the many other activities at the center is education programs to be a a animal and horse keeper.

This weekend, we had record low temperatures here in Denmark.
Minus 23 degrees Celsius, the lowest temperature measured here for 26 years ….
The three pictures here show the Danish landscape – at Nordsminde Fjord. I was lucky to have the sun play with the light over the fjord, while I with frozen fingers captured the three photos of the view over the ice

These days we have Brrrrrrrrrrrr-COLD temperatures and snow – and winter has in has the very highest degree arrived to Denmark.

I  hope that I one the next few days may have the opportunity to shoot some pictures from the COLD winter here…..

Until that:

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.

“Rule of thirds” is not really a rule – but a thousands of years old help for image composition.

It is based on four lines, two horizontal and two vertical, that divides the image. And also form four points from the crossing lines. Please click on the link “Rule of Thirds” above to see an example (from Wikipedia).

This is a simplification of the “The Golden Ratio” –

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

In my previous post I introduced you to a sculpture in Esbjerg. The title of the sculpture is “Man At Sea”.  It portrays four men, who are watching the view over the Wadden Sea outside Esbjerg. The sculptor behind the work is the Danish artist Sven Wiig Hansen.

The stunning 9 meter high sculpture was erected in 1994 on the occasion of Esbjerg Municipality’s 100 th anniversary.

In my previous post I introduced you to the Danish city Esbjerg in Southwest Jutland. One of the most prominent and impressive landmarks here is the sculpture of four men who are looking westward over the sea. It is located between the harbor and Hjerting – I showed you what they are looking at in my last post!
