Happy New Year 2011

It is time to say good bye to 2010 and welcome to 2011.

Thank you for all comments.

Winter in Gadstrup

Waste

Many people expect other to remove their waste - as here at the "Ticket stamp machine".

Water Tower in Roskilde

This is the water tower of Roskilde. The photo was shot on a very cold day in december.

Christmas is over

Today it is a normal day again. Christmas is over, the ducks has been eaten, the christmastree and the presents has been enjoyed, the christmastensions of the grandchildren has changed to relaxation - etc. Many people was not able to go all the way home or where they should be christmasevening. Especially Bornholm was closed because of snow.

Merry Christmas

Old City Hall in Roskilde

Well, here is another shot of the Old City Hall of Roskilde - with too much snow.

Take a look at Red Cabbage here!

Winter in Gadstrup

Here is more snow.

Parking in Roskilde

Roskilde got ½ meter snow the other day - parking and driving is indeed difficult.

No bikes

Is is hard and cold to be cyclist these days in Denmark - and none was seen today at the walk around Gadstrup to get some fresh air.

More winter

Yesterday we got lots of snow, but we had to get some fresh air and a little walk. This was what was seen.

Winter

This was what nature showed yesterday. This place is the most southern part of Roskilde.

Winter Morning

Colours in the Sign

The other day I was walking in Roskilde - and noticed this sign because of the light in it.

Drawing of first car arriving at Roskilde

Sometimes even libraries have too many book. In Roskilde you could buy a bag full of books for 20 kr, 3€ or 4$. I found one book with this drawing from 1897. The text is: Roskilde. The Automobile is arriving. Take a look at it, you will find many funny details. The old city hall - as shown yesterday - is also at this drawing. It is easy to find.

The book was about the history of Roskilde Amt (regional part of Denmark), which no longer exists.

Old City Hall in Roskilde

The sun was shining yesterday in Roskilde, it was cold and here is the old city hall with the Christmastree to the left.

Notice the building and come back tomorrow - I will show you and interesting drawing.

Christmas Window

This is the Christmas Window at Lützhøfts Købmandgaard, part of Roskilde Museum. You find more photos at label Museum.

Bognæs

This is not exactly from Roskilde, but at the other side of the water the municipality of Roskilde begins. It was cold and nice to be there today.

Snow a few days ago

This was reality a few days ago. Today lots of snow has disappeared, but more cold weather is expected this night.

The Sky from my Window

This was what I saw ½ an hour ago.

Icicles

Last night returning to Gadstrup these icicles was still hanging as I saw them leaving Gadstrup earlier, as seen below.

It has been summer

Some time ago - it was summer in my garden.

Sowing

This photo is not taken these winterdays, but some months ago. After harvest follows sowing.

Eristalis horticola - Hoverfly

This hoverfly was shot in my garden 31. August 2010. Suddenly it was standing in the air, and this was one of 4 shots. Take a look at the face. It is the same fly at the next photo.

Alternative Cycling

This way of using a bike was seen in Roskilde some time ago.

Danish Agro in December Light

Winter at Gadstrup Station

It was cold, but nice, to wait for the train today.

Line- and Squaredance in Roskilde

Earlier this year a group of line- and squaredancers did a show in Roskilde.

Winter again in Roskilde

After some months of absense, I am now back again. The only explanation is the psychological phenomenon called (in danish at least) to get away from something.
I have written a little about it: Getting away from doing.

Today is the first day in the winter - but here we have got lots of snow in november, which is rather unusual. I hope the plus-degrees returns again soon.
