Jellyfish in Limfjord:-

The eastern side of Aalborg has some striking modern architecture:-

A water-skier was practising in this inlet:-

Modern Buildings and older tower:-

Taking an underpass below the railway we found a nice park in Aalborg: the Kildeparken.

There were two small thatched buildings there. One seemed to be a public convenience, the other may have been a caretaker’s hut. Pity about the grafitti:-

There was also a walkway with statues along its sides. This one is of the Three Graces:-

The park is also home to the Singing Trees. Each performer at Aalborg’s Concert Hall is asked to plant a tree alongside which is a device containing a recording of a sample of their music.

Sadly during our visit none the playbacks we tried were working. Here’s a clip from You Tube where they were:-

Aalborg (see earlier post) had some nice older buildings in streets quite near the city centre:-

Looking one way, then the other in another old street:-

This isn’t the sort of view normally associated with fjords. The word usually conjures up images of steep, almost mountainous sides and a narrow waterway.

This however is the Limfjord, which cuts Jutland in Denmark in two. And the countryside by its banks is flat. I thought that perhaps in Danish the word fjord just means inlet. (It seems it does, if you type ‘fjord’ on the ‘Danish’ side of this link. In all the other Scandinavian languages ‘fjord’ translates as ‘fjord’.)

We sailed up the easternmost bit of the Limfjord on our approach to the last stop on the trip, Aalborg, Denmark’s fourth largest city.
