Saltum and surrounds

In Saltum, Thora, the gallery owner asked me what I wanted to do: see nature or meet other artists. I wanted to focus on the amazing landscape and ended up meeting artists and seeing art as well. I can’t remember the names of all the places we went but I can show you pix.

First was the big dunes. These sand dunes were taller than most buildings. We climbed to the top and looked down to the water far below. It was beyond beautiful.

Then lunch. We ate on a patio overlooking a small harbor.

I had the most delicious herring, fixed in three different ways.

Then on to Skagen: a charming town, with a good art museum, situated at the northernmost point in Denmark. Here the land goes out to a point and the water meets from each side with a kiss. One side the water is cold, the other it’s warm.

Then back to Saltum for dinner and a sounds night's sleep.

What a great adventure Leya. Your pictures are spectacular. I so love the ocean. Good to hear you are finally getting some warmer weather in Halifax, although I suppose you could do without the humidity, hey. Hugs!
