What I was up to while blog was hibernating....

Okay, so I'm backtracking a bit now, to share some pictures from my holiday in Denmark in March with my family.


Among other places we went to this beautiful area around the Skjern River, which flows into the Ringkøbing Fjord. In the 1960s the river was straightened, literally, to make the wetlands suitable for agriculture. Unfortunately, this ruined the natural habitats for many of the animals in the river, and also had an adverse effect on the pollution of the river and the fjord. So, in 1999, they decided to put the river back in its original course, which meanders quite beautifully through the landscape. The whole area is now a natural reserve, and the scenery is breathtaking. It's also home to an awful lot of birds and other animals - we saw mostly geese, but then again, it was only March.
