Time stands still in Åboulevarden

Sometimes we feel like if time was frozen...

...like in Åboulevarden, where the clock above always tells that it's 10:35. Summer or winter, even in the old pictures...


That's why we should not trust clocks, because sometimes they try to confuse us, telling so many different times as the Danish design clocks below, also on the riverside..


We won't believe them, no matter if Arne Jacobsen has created them for the National Bank of Denmark or for the Aarhusian city hall. Cause it's only 4 PM and there is still some light outside, and the days start to grow again in this mild January...


In a little while the city lights will show their supremacy in the urban landscape...

...drawing impressionist pictures on the water...


...until the morning sun comes

Århus by night

One of the things I love most from Århus is its dark sky at night, that let you enjoy the view of the stars even from the city center

When the days become shorter, Aarhusians love to light the cold winter nights with candles...



...but when everyone goes to bed, the only lights alive are the neon ones, that conquer the city in silence...
...winning the battle against the souls of the Spanish soldiers that long time ago gave its name to  a place called Spanien...
