October Arhus Denmark 1 of 2

So I am leaving Copenhagen for last even though we started and ended the trip there. For this post, we head to Arhus Denmark. About a decade ago I worked for a company in Seattle called Corbis. One of my coworkers from Corbis had met a German/Danish man and married him, and moved to Arhus. They had a cute young baby girl named Annika. The train took a few hours from Copenhagen, and we met them at the train station. For some reason their logo on the train station looks like a hotdog with wings…(or am I just missing a regular hotdog!). We strolled through Arhus, had some lunch, than hopped the bus to their house which was just about 15 minutes from the center of town, right on the water.  Here are a few pictures of our walk through Arhus, and its church in the center of town.      

We took a walk out to the beach from their house. Even though winter was setting in and very cold that day, it still was a wonderful view.

Here is Saundra our host! The wind was getting us!

The next day we went back into Arhus to visit some museums. This first place we just walked through briefly on our way to another. Here a father and daughter pose next to a statue next to the museum pool.

Here is the inside of the Museum of Modern Art, striking architecture.

Below is a piece of art called ‘Boy’. It is a massive sculpture, probably 20 feet tall of a boy crouching down. The amazing detail of this is hard to describe or capture. It really does seem like its alive, as if the boy would just stand up and walk out of the museum.

Here are some ground level pictures. You can see how big he is. His muscles, veins, and the wrinkles and folds of his skin were so lifelike. 

Here you see Saviya gazing in at the ‘Boy’

Saundra and her husband Bjorn and Annika walking through the park. They really are a wonderful family. I was very glad to connect with them while we lived here, the only people we know on this continent!

Annika Poppy!
