The summer has finally arrived with temperatures over 30 degrees Celsius.
On my way to and from work, I see this beautiful place. Today, I went by just to take this photo (luckily I don’t have to work today), so you could see it too. 🙂

Colour Fields
Snails after rain
I was just about to go out and take a photo of the fantastic green and yellow colours in the fields, when it started to rain (Danish weather: from bright sunshine to a gentle rain in very short time). When the rain stopped, I noticed a lot of snails on the move – as snails tend to do during and after the rain. Here are two of them:

Photo taken today, just outside my window.
One more snow picture
Yesterday I couldn’t drive to work. My car couldn’t make it through the snow, and the only public transportation was a bus in the ditch just outside town.
This photo is taken today, with roads once again possible to drive on – with a little care.
This weekend, the snow turns to water.

Home Base photo #3
I went by this place today – on a cold Saturday.
I suddenly came to think, that it looks like an illustration from ‘The Wind in the Willows’. The trees probably aren’t willows (I’m not sure, what they are), and it was in another era I’ve came across that story, so I may remember it all wrong.
“You remember it in great detail, and you remember it all wrong.
All the distances are different, and the landmarks seem to have moved about.”
(George Orwell, “Coming Up For Air”)
Home Base photo #2
Both photos are taken near the spot, where I also took Home Base photo #1, mainly to show what it looks like in a more normal winter – which we have now. Few minutes after I took the photos, it began to snow again. But it seems like the snow is here on a short visit. Tomorrow it’ll all turn to water, and the precipitation will be in form of rain – and not snowfall.
Winter
Today we got the first snow this winter. Until now it has been very warm – for a Danish winter.
I think, the Danish Meteorological Institute is one of the oldest meteorological institutes in the world, and as long as they have measured the weather, there hasn’t been a winter this warm! We’ll get more snow, but with the relatively warm water surrounding the country, there’s not much chance of us getting a long and rough winter – luckily.
Home Base photo #1
I’ll try to take a photo now and then of places near my home, and send them out on this blog the same day. You’ll find all the Home Base messages under the category Home Base photos. (Yes, it can be that simple!)
The first photo (called #1) is taken with a cell phone camera, on a January day (today, actually), with the sun almost directly in the lens (contre-jour). Though the motif isn’t far away from my house (can’t be seen on the photo), I seldom go there. There’s just a small road leading to nowhere – Well, if you walk for about an hour, and turn right each time you get the chance, you’ll end up where you started. But then again – for some people, that would be nowhere – for me it is home.
