Go West Young Man... Western Denmark That Is
Needless to say, it was thick.
Along the way we stopped at a few sites. Our first stop of the day was a church with breathtaking natural lighting on the inside. The exterior left something to be desired, but the interior views were simply amazing, as you can see. I don't remember the name, or the architect, since this is one of about 13 buildings we visited. I will find the schedule and post the names shortly. Also, to view the rest of the pictures I took of every building, please look at my albums #4-#8 as they all contain the photos from this entire tour.
After that we went to a communal center for those suffering from muscular dystrophy. It was a compilation of buildings arranged along the coastline. They were all wooden structures, with concrete towers attached for ventilation, light, as well storage. It was a very nice setting, however it was still foggy. That's me with Wylie and Ian on the Danish Coast.
From there we went to another church, an art museum, a library, and then to our hostel in Kolding. That was a good day. The next day, we hit up the Trapholt museum in Kolding, Kid's Exploration Center, another church, and a small commune community setup to provide complete sustainability. A hippie's dream world, if you will. We then left and headed towards Arhus, the second largest city in Denmark.
While we were in kolding we also saw a swimming hall, and the Koldinghus, or Kolding Castle!
On the last day in Arhus, we visited the Trapholt museum, the Music Hall, the ARoS art museum, Town Hall, a chapel with crematorium, and an ancient Viking Burial Mound.

Just so happened, a rally about the Danish Cartoons was going on, so we thought we'd join in, until we realized it was an Anti-Danish rally... We left quickly!
