Magical Skies – A Thrilling Northern Lights Experience in Denmark 🤩🥹
ARoS: A Really Overrated Stop?! 🤭
I’ve lived in Aarhus for several years, and frequently return for work. Despite that, I had never actually visited the ARoS Museum. Funny, right? Well, that finally changed recently when I found both the time and an exhibition that intrigued me – “Metronome” by Sarah Sze. The concept, revolving around our digitalized world and its fragility, piqued my interest. So, I asked my dearest, T, if she wanted to join me, and she was all in!
Chasing Northern Lights – Again, again, and again 🌌
Back again with another post about the northern lights! The Aurora Borealis has always fascinated me, and ever since I learned that it can be visible in Denmark, I’ve made it my mission to capture it.
For the second time, I was fortunate enough to photograph this beautiful phenomenon in my hometown, Herning! This happened just last Friday. It was such a special moment to capture it in the place where I was born 🤩😍
The display only lasted for two minutes from where I was, so I’d say I got pretty lucky 😄😌
Chasing the Northern Lights 🌌✨
I’ve always dreamed of seeing the Northern Lights, though I never imagined it would be possible here in Denmark. I had even planned trips to Iceland or Finland to make this dream a reality. However, a few months ago, I discovered that others had witnessed the Northern Lights right here in Denmark.
Welcome to inspiring royals who keept it real 👑
Today was a huge day for Denmark as Queen Margrethe abdicated and handed over the throne to her son, King Frederik X, and his wife, Queen Mary.
I’m not a die-hard royalist, but I’m genuinely impressed by the Danish Queen and the new King and Queen. Their down-to-earth nature is simply amazing, like when they participate in the Royal Run alongside regular folks. It’s lovely to see them being so relatable. I find them truly inspiring and think they make a wonderful pair!
Museums of Odense
After the delicious Thai lunch, my friend A and I went down the streets to see the danish author H C Andersen’s childhood home. I remember visiting this small house back in my childhood, where we went on a trip to Odense with my class and teachers. Seeing it again was a nice pleasure.
HCA’s childhood home is located at Munkemøllestræde, and is today a small museum, where you can see how he/they used to live. It’s quite interesting to see how they lived. This home is where HCA lived in his childhood, but he was not born here, but grew up here. Here you’ll also find a small garden with all the plants that features in his fairytales.
After visiting HCA’s Childhood home, we went to Møntergården, that consists of courtyards and old buildings from the 16th century to the present day. Here, you’ll find a bright exhibition about Odense and Funen, and it actually has a lot to offer for those who are into history (of Funen). We really had some “wow, really??” moments here.
Next we went to the H C Andersen House. This is located alongside the house where he was born. The house itself was bought by Odense Municipality at HCA’s 100th birthday, and after a restoration it was opened as a museum. Later it was expanded in 1930, 1976 and latest in 2004. This part of the entire HCA Museum was actually the best part, if you ask me. I’ve never been here before, but watching some of HCA’s collections and the audio-visual part was indeed nice.
