As mentioned a while ago, I went to Europe this winter (summer in the northern hemisphere). Took a number of pictures. Decided against flooding the What You've Done today thread Didn't take a lot of pictures from the 3 hour stopover in Changi Airport, suffice to say, it's worth a visit if you've never been there (I've been there about a dozen times by now). A bit of amusing trivia about Denmark... it's flat, it's wet, it has 7000 of coastline with beaches (not including the overseas territories). Usually green with a grey sky. I got lucky, 2 weeks of mostly sunshine and 20-22c temperatures. Same as the winter in Brisbane, in Denmark they just call it "summer". Most places you go, even in the middle of nowhere, you'll find bicycle paths! Yes, the lane I'm standing on while taking this picture is a bicycle path and I have it coming if someone crashes into me here. Pedestrians have no more business being here than on the road I spent the majority of the two weeks in my old hometown on the west coast of Jutland, a town called "Esbjerg", old fishing and ferry town (used to have regular ferry routes to England before the channel tunnel), now mostly a port for shipping and offshore oil rig maintenance as well as a connection point for the offshore windmills and natural gas pipes from the North Sea. The maritime museum (next to the 4 white statues) have a number of saltwater aquariums showing North Sea wild life Went here several times, my favourite ice cream place the last 50 years!
