In which I give up on the concept of the narrative

I've decided that the best way to show off photos is to just post them, with short comments for each one. Otherwise, I'll sit here for hours trying to develop a good narrative to go with them. You can see my previous attempt at that in the post below...

This is the Aalborg Kunstmuseum (Art Museum), designed by Elissa and Alvar Aalto and Jean-Jacques Baruel. (Hm. I just noticed that the photo is crooked. Let's call it art). The rectangular shape at the top is a light reflector, which bounces and diffuses the light around the exhibits. 

There were Danish Kroner glued to the pavement outside of the museum. I don't know if it was an exhibit or not, but I had fun watching other students try and pick them up. (I've been fooled by coins glued to the ground before, so I nudged one with my shoe first, just to check.) 

This was part of an exhibit in the Utzon Center by Jesper Rasmussen called Off Location. 

 

It is a set of stairs that fills up an entire room! They go up to the ceiling, and give the climber a strong feeling of vertigo. 

The art museum in Århus (ARoS) has this exhibit called the 9 Rooms, a series of galleries devoted to works by light and sound artists. One artist covered the walls, ceiling and floor with mirrors. It felt like I was standing in air. 

Here is a shot of the atrium of ARoS. It is light and airy, and a semi-public corridor. 

I got to see a good old-fashioned cathedral, Viborg Domkirke. It has very nice frescoes and a flat ceiling over the aisle. Apparently this church is unusual in terms of Danish religious architecture, but no matter how many times I asked, the professor got distracted by something else and I never got a complete answer. 

Here is something dad will like. The river in Århus was covered up by a road in the early 20th century for "sanitary" reasons, but in the 90s it was opened up again to give the city a pedestrian core. You can tell by the structure that it used to be a roadway, and it is very commercial, but it creates a pleasant space in the city. 

So that is Jutland in a nutshell! Denmark is so small that at any point, you are never farther than 52 kilometers (~32 miles) from the ocean, so there is quite a lot packed into one country!
