Øgaderne: A green quarter

The "Islands quarter", between the sea & the sky

Its neighbours seem to know how to enjoy life

and maybe that's why they want to keep it green

Ny Munkegade gardens are a good example of it

A place where the evenings can be golden...

Asleep winter heart

No more games - she said

Your coldness made me blind

Let me die alone in the asleep forest

- and her heart remained still like the old mill's wheel in the frozen waters

Remember: Some feelings are like the burning embers, you can't see them, but they are just hidden under the snow...

About flowers, mermaids and the faces of trees

The grey colour covers the city...

...and the flowers that used to lighten our streets start fading away...

gone with the wind, or maybe with the stream

surrounded by wooden mermaids

 carved on the old trees

 coming back to life in this original way

 showing us that even a dead tree kan hide many faces

The vikings are back

One year more, the sun is warming the summer breeze...

and the boats are already waiting on the mouth of the river

Those brave men and women are back in town...

like ghosts from the past claiming the property of a land that was their own 1000 years ago

and ruling again in those territories, between the sea and the forest

ready for the fight, trading and taking care of the animals...

And if you meet them, then you'll discover the truth:

People from the past and people from the future walk in opposite directions...

Århus Guerrilla

A new movement for those that still believe that there is a hope in this asphalt jungle...

...has taken the streets of Århus

Like small Spring miracles...

...these gardening warriors are not afraid of the challenges...

...hanging their works from the river walls or invading crowded urban spaces...

...to create small pieces of art for our everyday life

Springtime in Århus

One week ago, the snow was still covering the streets...

...but suddenly, Spring comes and an explosion of sun and flowers invades the town

Even the cobbled stones of the Latin Quarter cannot resist the power of Nature...

And one only feels like lying on the grass...

...and staring at the clouds!

Frozen sea...

At the end of winter, when you think spring is already there...

you walk out Østbanegård train station on a splendorous sunny day...

and the sea is frozen!

The ice grows and cracks...

and watching the city towers from the træskibshavn, you could imagine that Århus was moved far up North...

Until you reach the top of the cliff on your way to Risskov forest and your eyes discover the view of Mols hills at the other side of the bay...

What to do on a snowy Sunday

Drop the car...

Forget your bike...

Jump in the snow!

Take a long walk in the Botanisk Have...

And celebrate the Chinese New Year at Musikhuset!

Happy Chinese New Year From Århus with love!!
