The weekend I visited Aarhus, Denmark (July 2011) was not a great one for the weather. However, even though I experienced some cloudy skies and rain in Aarhus, back “home” in Copenhagen things got really nasty and the city experienced its worst flood in history. I’ll post some photos from the aftermath of Copenhagen’s flood one of these days. Today’s photo features the longest and tallest church in Denmark. Building began over 800 years ago and the Aarhus Cathedral was completed about 700 years ago. Aarhus Canal is in the foreground.

I love the neon lights surrounding Copenhagen’s lakes. In June and July you have to wait until after midnight for things to get this dark.

On the roof of the art museum in Aarhus, Denmark is a circular walkway enclosed in glass of changing color. I thought it was pretty cool when I visited there last year. The piece was only a few months old. Unfortunately, I didn’t know how to use my then new DSLR at the time, and so my settings were pretty messed up when I took today’s photo. I guess I have an excuse to go back now.

This time last year I was wrapping up my stay in Denmark. On nearly my last day I took a bike ride from Copenhagen to the south side of the airport to visit the cute little town of Dragør. Dragør consists of street after street of little yellow houses with either red tiles or thatched roofs. If memory serves, cars aren’t allowed on the cobblestone streets unless they live there so wandering through the narrow streets is lots of fun. However, if quaint, Danish architecture isn’t your thing you can head to the water to check out the lovely harbor.

Although not in the above photo, boats were coming in and out of the harbor bearing flags of their origin. I saw boats from Sweden, Norway, Germany, and of course Denmark.

Dragør is only a dozen or so kilometers from Copenhagen, but it seems like a different world.
