[Leica] Nathan's PAD 28/8/2017: a leisurely ride to beach of my youth

[Nathan Wajsman]

On Monday, after the ordeal of Sunday afternoon/evening, I was not going to do any serious cycling. But the weather was good, and Lars had to work in the morning, so I took the bicycle and just cycled to the beach where I used to go when I was a teenager here in Aarhus in the 1970s. Truth be told, the main motive for going to the beach was not to swim or sunbathe, but to drink beer and look at the topless women; those were the days…but the beach is still there, the forest through which you go to get there is beautiful, and it is less than 10 km from city centre. Seven images:

This is the road one cycles on (the bike path):

Shortly after entering the forest, you come to park called Dyrehaven, with a large herd of deer and other animals:

Moesgaard Strand (beach). It does not look that inviting here, but other parts are more sandy and there are days when it is full. But this was, after all, a Monday morning, and school vacations are over in Denmark by now. So the beach was quite deserted:

This used to be a fisherman’s house, now it is just somebody’s home I think. I have a photo I took of my mother here in the early 1980s:

This is actually the public toilet:

For old times’ sake I took as small stone with me to take a piece of my town back to Alicante tomorrow. On the way back to the city, I took one last picture. This is the harbour as seen through the trees of the forest:
