Autumn Pictures from Aarhus
Aarhus is the second-largest city in Denmark and only one hour’s drive from us. Whenever we go there, my husband is reminded of his time as a soldier in his youth. Standing on his post in front of the clock on the City Hall, time was put on a standstill, especially during the hours before dawn.
Where the former barrack once was is now a music hall and a renowned art museum called ARoS

Fifty years ago, my brother and I went for a holiday in Aarhus. He took a picture of me at the site of the pig sculpture. I remember I found it a bit ridiculous. It’s strange how some things get stuck into your memory forever.

I am sure Henry would love to tell you about how it was for him to leave home and arrive at the barracks to enter a new kind of life. I am glad that a few buildings are preserved, like the horse barn
