viereck This is the community I was living in. It's a small rural village called "Harlev", 15 km away from the center of Aarhus. Even though I always had to drive into the city, I liked it very much there. It was quiet, and the air was crisp and fresh.

viereck Aaboboulevarden in the center of Aarhus. This is a first result of a remarkable city development project: They dug out a formerly subterranean river and created a promenade section which now has become a popular summertime meeting spot. Scandinavia in general is famous for outstanding city and landscape planning.


viereck Together with friends on the top of one of Denmarks highest mountains, the Himmelbjerget (160 m above sea level). The others are (from left to right): Martti from Estonia, Steve from Scotland, Tove from Finland, Nick from England. It was very interesting to witness a Scot and a Brit sitting next to each other in a car, constantly swearing at each other!

viereck with Nick and Gerlinde in the streets of Tonder, where we attended Tonder Folk Festival. I returned to that festival on my own one year later and saw my favorite band "Capercaillie" play live. On my way back, my car was searched by German customs. Borders suck. Can't wait to get rid of them. It was also the night Princess Diana died. Publicity sucks as well, one might add.

No matter which season of the year,
northern European light never loses its magic.
