Clucking Around Aarhus, Denmark


Today I visited Aarhus, Denmark. The Vikings first created a settlement in this location around 770AD. Aarhus is Denmark’s second largest city with a population of 325,000 and its own university.

There are many wonderful sculptures, fountains and pieces of art in Aarhus. Denmark’s largest cathedral is also here and a wonderful outdoor museum called Den Gamle By (old Town Museum).

There is an old church in this fishing village that has been completely buried in sand except for its tower.

There is no better place to tip toe through the tulips then at the tulip festival at Keukenhof Gardens in the Netherlands.

An interesting side note, tulips originated in the areas between Turkey and China.

Gargoyles Love Chicken


One of my favourite things about a gothic cathedral are the gargoyles. There were plenty of gargoyles at the Dom Cathedral in Utrecht.

Bosch and a Chicken

I visited the City of Den Bosch. 

The painter, Heronimus Bosch came from this area (his paintings included The Garden of Earthly Delights and Ship of Fools). He often painted animals wearing clothes to represent people. 

I love this statue which is made in the style of his paintings. Now I wonder if I can find a chicken statue?
