Where did the sun go?

It's been a pretty dreary month in Denmark. We had a few sunny moments, but today is one windy, blowing, rainy mess.

A few pictures of a how beautiful Denmark is....when the sun isn't hiding behind the clouds.

  3. Not 0.5% of Denmark looks like this. The rest is a mass of undifferentiated suburbia. Across the landscape huge logisitics boxes, office parks and motorways are spreading. Each city is approached by up to 5 km of retail boxes by the side of the road. Much of Jutland is a windwept treeless waste: I´ve cycled across it and so I speak from experience. Perhaps if you come from the US, Canada or Australia and haven´t seen Switzerland, Italy, Germany or France you might be impressed. But if you have and if you come to Denmark to spend more than a few days, you will quickly learn how profoundly boring and dispiriting this place really is. It is a technocracy with suburban values. These pictures do not reflect that.

  4. Seriously "Commentator" get a life. If you must be so crass at least have the cajones to leave a name. If you don't like the post or the blog, move on, as no one is forcing you to look at the beauty that can be found in Denmark. Is your life really that terrible?

  5. :) Had to smile... then laugh.

    I agree. California has views to rival any of these pictures, but it doesn't mean Denmark doesn't have it's beauty too. ...as much as it pains me to say it. :)

    Gee Miss Romenesko, have you ever traveled around to see any other places? :) HA!

    Of course, I'd say California is the best place in the world hands down. It has every landscape imaginable... even some "windswept treeless waste" too.

  6. Tara-
    Hmmm, I think I've been around, just a bit...seen a few countries and even taken a few photographs along the way. How dare I post pictures of Denmark that don't depict the 6 million pigs, windswept treeless waste, and grey days?!?!?

    I forgot that I actually posted my response to 'commentator.' Another bozo that thinks his response is anonymous. When will they learn?
