Exploring

I really like exploring. We went to go see an old lighthouse that is slowly being taken over by sand dunes. The door was bricked up but there was a door that led to another building that had collapsed under the weight of the encroaching sand. About a foot at the top of the door was clear and just big enough to slide in. The stairs inside were in good condition and afforded safe passage all the way to the top. The sun was setting and it was so beautiful to see from up there. So many photographic possibilities in the waining light.























































There are also many Nazi bunkers all over. Some are just part of the cityscape on the side of the road coexisting with other buildings of less sinister origin. Others are part of complex
networks on the coast. We went to one with over 60. Wartime trenches meandered to connect them. Ghostly reminders of a dark time in human history.

Merry Chirstmas Don Don! You sure do have an eye for the camera bro. That last pic looks like it housed a coastal defense gun at one point. I would love to see those old relics from so long ago. I understand Denmark had a substantial underground reistance during the occupation, much like France and Poland.
