Denmark addendum, slices of heaven

Ok, just a few more words (and pictures) on Denmark, then we'll go to London.
Perhaps I was a bit unfair calling Denmark (wait...scrolling down...) not "a very interesting landscape". I suppose I made it sound rather boring. Well, I DO love mountains and diversity in a terrain, and it is pretty damn flat, and maybe because there isn't a great variety to the landscape, it IS a little boring... but wait, I'm supposed to be singing a different tune here. O.k. All of those things said, I continued to encounter absolutely beautiful and special places. Places where there was more space, or more trees, and less buildings. More wildness, less construct. I kept encountering those little slices of heaven.
Let me tell you, in my world, heaven is very green, and it was the green that inspired me. So here are a few last images. They are as big as this page will allow, which is small, so I'm afraid they don't do justice to what I saw with my eyes, but here you are.

What Denmark used to look like,
covered in low-lying shrubs with not too many trees
(and cute little hobbit children running about in hoods)




Django by the lake near Simon's mother's house at sundown.












Look at that green mama!


It really was an amazing green. The picture doesn't show.



humoring mama and posing on a log



Django bounding down a mossy hill. The kind of moss that elf houses must be carpeted with, and the kind of sunlight that reminds me of Middle Earth (I might've been there! can you say for sure?)




Some happy horses!



Here we are at the North Sea.




Farewell for now Denmark.

(and now to London where they have dark roast coffee and beer with color!)
