Denmark Part 3 Aarhus and the Gotland sheep of Lindholm Høye

 An interesting part of our trip prep was that I had two make online two reservations in Danish of course with the help of googletranslate. The first was for the ferry between Odden (in Sjaelland) and Aarhus (in Jutland). I was rather proud of myself that I made the reservation and the early morning ferry ride went of without a hitch.  














The ferry was very comfortable despite the fact that we were not in business class, clearly for some folks this was a daily commute to Aarhus which is a large university town.


The ferry port is in practically in the city, so it was a short drive  to the museum, ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum. The museum is 10 stories tall. Teenaged boys were fascinated with the rainbow walkway at the top, and indeed a lot of the whole museum.  Quite amazing. 


[Side  note:  it's unpredictable what museums or museum exhibits MY young men enjoy.  They do not like looking at paintings. ARoS got it  right, they both enjoyed photographic exhibit and the walkway.  At the Smithsonian last year one like the Chinese pottery as he also like to throw pots…the other liked the sculpture. So I guess my advice is…keep taking your bored teenagers to museums because something will catch their fancy.]   













Seen at the museum







Myself, my wonder is of the nineteenth century painters.

This is a detail of a painting, I will find out the artist and update




Here is a smaller detail, she is making a fishing net with a tool  the same as the one I purchased in Iceland several years ago




I set it on a Peruvian textile to photograph it, looks a bit like her skirt!



The  painting below is by Edvard Peterson from 1890, "Emigrants at Larsens Plads."  Peterson was a social realist painter who painted the realities of everyday life of working people. (I now have a new favorite genre of painting).  This painting is very meaningful to me as my Great Great Grandparents emigrated to New York from Denmark in 1860 with their first baby.  The baby, Christian, did not survive the ocean voyage. The strife and anxiety and necessity of a pending emigration depicted in this picture are very poignant to me.






Here's a nice site with more information on Aarhus

Mom wanted to drive from Aarhus to the Moesgard Museum nearby in Holbjerg and was dismayed to learn that it was under renovation. She REALLY wanted to see the Graubelle Man, one of three ancient people who have been discovered in Jutland's peat. Unhappily for us but great for the Moesgard Museum, it is under renovation and closed this summer.

So we settled on a visit to Lindholm Høye, a Viking burial ground.
Here's a  site with more detailed information.

It was in an idyllic setting with sheep grazing around the monument stones.  It was ever thus!  The sheep are Gotland which are apparently raised throughout Denmark. More on this in an upcoming post.














The shop was nice, plenty of Viking garb




There was a lovely cafe and store, purchased some natural dyed yarn



Natural dyes left to right: Dried Tansy, St John's Wort, madder and a darker madder.

  15. I owe SWIFT RECOVERY FIRM a huge debt of gratitude for their assistance in getting my Bitcoin back. I had lost every penny of my life savings after falling victim to a fraudulent investment business. I was inconsolable and unsure of what to do. After doing some internet investigation, I came across SWIFT RECOVER FIRM. They enjoy a stellar reputation and have assisted numerous clients in getting their pilfered cryptocurrency back. I’m so happy I chose to give them a shot. The SWIFT RECOVERY FIRM staff was incredibly helpful and competent. They gave me a thorough explanation of the recuperation procedure and kept me informed of their advancement at every stage. SWIFT RECOVERY FIRM was able to get back all of my Bitcoin that had been stolen in a matter of weeks! I was ecstatic to receive my money back. I strongly advise anyone who has been duped or had their cryptocurrency stolen to visit (swiftrecoveryservice006@gmail.com). They are an experienced and trustworthy FIRM that can assist you in getting your things back. You can also Whatsapp them on +1 (786) 684-0501
