Tuesday 31st July 2018: dry stone wall on La Dôle.

Friday 27th July 2018: lunar eclipse.

Saturday 14th July 2018: stormy sky.

Let’s talk about the weather! This week, it seems that I have been especially inspired by the sky, the clouds, the sunset lights… The colors of the sky have been changing a lot above the Jura.

In between storms, I have been walking near La Givrine and Lac des Rousses.

Thursday 12th July 2018: common buzzard.

Rúdudú and I go for our daily walk in the field in front of the house. The wind in the trees and the songs of the birds are the only sounds we can hear.

This week I went on a trip to Lausanne and the tower of Sauvabelin.

In the Jura, far from the light pollution around Lake Geneva, I enjoy every night a very dark sky filled with many visible stars.

Thursday 5th July 2018: Rúdúdú in light and shadows.

This week I moved to the French Jura, near the border to Switzerland (après avoir habité Aarhus, j’habite maintenant aux Rousses). Rúdúdú and I went for a discovery walk in the surroundings to see La Dôle from the other side!

 

Tuesday 26th June 2018: dry stone wall in Col du Marchairuz, Switzerland.

This week, Rúdúdú and I said goodbye to our friends, neighbours, home and terrace in Aarhus. After a long drive through Germany, we arrived to Switzerland through the Franches-Montagnes!

In our temporary home, Rúdúdú integrated immediately with the other cats (at least these silent ones).

Another road trip brought us to Vallorbe, Lac de Joux and Col du Marchairuz.

Tuesday 19th June 2018: the transparent wings of Greta oto.

Visit of the botanical garden in Aarhus and its tropical greenhouses.

Monday 11th June: upcycled cards for broddgöltur.

 

Friday 8th June 2018: Nuphar lutea on Brabrand Sø.

This week has been hot, very hot!

And I’ve been busy paddling. Thanks to my landlords, I went kayaking three times, on the sea Kattegat, on the river Aarhus, and on Brabrand Lake.

I also paid a visit to the friendly goats at Sondrup Gårdmejeri, an organic farm producing goat cheese 40 km south of Aarhus.

Wednesday 30th May 2018: I ♥ ØKO.

Here are my two amazing working places: the colorful market at Ingerslevs Boulevard, where I sell my handicraft broddgöltur, and the sunny terrace in front of my house, where I create my items!

Et pour donner suite au chapitre 26, voici les taillés aux grever!

 

Thursday 24th May 2018: blackbird.

A tour in Godsbanen, an inspiring neighbourhood.

Et la surprise de la semaine, spéciale dédicace pour les Vaudois: en récoltant de la nourriture, j’ai trouvé des greubons! En danois, ils s’appellent grever. Grever/greubons, ça ne s’invente pas! Même dans le canton de Vaud, je ne saurais pas où trouver des greubons, et voilà que je tombe dessus dans une poubelle au Danemark…

 

Sunday 13th May: upcycled terrace built from palettes.

And a bike tour on the seashore.

 

Monday 7th May 2018: Aglais io / Peacock butterfly / Paon du jour.

Spring, sun, flowers and walks in the forest.

Saturday 7th April 2018: Mount Møllehøj, the highest mountain of Denmark!

Sometimes people ask me why I stay in Denmark, what I like here. I think now I have an answer: even with my difficulties to walk, I can hike the three highest summits of the country in 30 minutes, including time for photos. It makes me feel powerful! 😉

Sunday 1st April 2018: Gleaming Lights of the Souls, Yayoi Kusama, 2008.

On Sunday I visited Louisiana, the museum of modern art in Humlebæk. Monday was another very sunny day in Copenhagen! And Tuesday, oh Tuesday… Once again I woke up under the snow for a 350-km-drive in the fog!

Saturday 24th March 2018: a typical Swedish landscape upside down in a drop.

While staying near Anneberg, Sweden, I went for walks in the snow with Rúdúdú. More snow on the day of my departure… Back to Denmark, I spent a sunny afternoon in Copenhagen!

Friday 23rd March 2018: Vallgraven, Gothenburg, Sweden.

This week I met Anton the batdog. Then I moved from Denmark to Sweden. Rúdúdú stays the coolest cat when it comes to take a ferry! But in the forest around our Swedish cottage, I’m afraid he went hunting for the very first time 😕. In the surroundings: Älvsåker church and Gothenburg.

Friday 16th March 2018: Grenen.

A walk to Grenen, the northernmost point of Denmark, where two seas meet. Sunny, windy, -3°C!

Thursday 8th March 2018: The Phoenix is closer than it appears, Thilo Frank.

This week I visited Kunsten, the Museum of Modern Art in Aalborg. The sky is blue on the paintings and on my puzzle, but rather white in real life!

Wednesday 28th February 2018: Hou harbour in the ice.

As everywhere in Europe, it has been very cold and windy in North Jutland. The shores, Kattegat and Limfjord, are frozen.

Thursday 22nd February 2018: Hals harbour.

After one week in Aalborg, I moved to a new place in Hals. Winter is coming, and I went for short walks in the gray weather in the surroundings of my place and in Nørresundby.

 

Wednesday 14th February 2018: frost and sun.

Rúdúdú is ready to move to Aalborg.

 

Thursday 8th February 2018: shadow.

Captain Rúdúdú has sea legs.

Thursday 1st February 2018: night walk on Teglgade.

It became a habit now: I walked my cat in the neighbourhood, and then went for a treasure hunt in the moonlight.

Thursday 25th January 2018: bench in the Limfjord.

Walking on the harbour in Mariager and in Aalborg.

 

Wednesday 17th January 2018: Mariagerkirke.

Rúdúdú has been part of most of my activities this week: a walk around Mariager Abbey, and paper making.

Sunday 7th January 2018: frozen Mariagerfjord.

This cold and sunny Sunday gave me many opportunities for photography. On Monday, I drove around Mariagerfjord with Rúdúdú, visiting the most unexpected places!

Les Vaudois apprécieront le fait que le village à côté de chez moi s’appelle Assens… 😉

 

Monday 1st January 2018: Godt Nytår!

Some errands in Aarhus, and my arrival to Mariager. I woke up under fresh snow on my first morning in this cute little town.

Sunday 3rd December 2017: Egholm.

I arrived to Denmark on 2nd December, and stayed for the week-end in Aalborg with Mette and Jacob. On Sunday I went to the little island Egholm with Mette. Then, driving in the sun to Aarhus with some detour through Thyholm.

Thursday 30th November 2017: Faroe Islands.

I left Reykjavík on 25th November, and took four days to drive to Seyðisfjörður. Then I put the van and the cat on the ferry, direction Faroe Islands and Denmark! Here are a few more photos of my last trip in Iceland.
