The cathedral occupies much of the cityscape, but can handle a closer view.
Both rivers and canals also fill in the cityscape, supporting the city’s charm.
The many squares, including the smaller ones, also contribute.
The backyards often deserve to be seen as well, therefore no parking.
The architecture of the city, almost a story itself.
At another time of year, it could certainly have been romantic.
As usual inspired by “Restlessjo” and her captivating “Monday walk” themes.
We have a lot to do with planning everything “we want or we will”.
It prevents many experiences we haven’t thought of.?
Sometimes we might have to “plan” to let the coincidence prevail.
Such a bike ride is amazing, just have to remember the way back.
Is a very huge supporter of the principle:
“Do you know what you talk about so talk out loud,
knowing nothing about it so shut up and listen”
This is how I feel about these fellows,
which is the very last call to be found in the french forests this year.

Tastes really great when collected by people with sense and knowledge.

Nearly the northernmost part of the danish part of the Wadden Sea,
“one and a half stone throw” from the coast lies the ancient city of Ribe.

Walk through the city streets, once housing the rich and poor.
Now architectural history, which is not poor at all.
In Denmark, the word market town (danish: købstad) has existed since the Iron Age.
It isn’t known which was the first danish market town, Ribe were among the first.
The last town to gain market rights (danish: købstadsprivilegier) was in 1958.
At the municipal reform of 1970, market towns were merged with neighboring parishes,
then the market towns lost their special status and privileges
– the word isn’t used much anymore, only historic.
Modern (french too) forestry is much more than cutting down trees.
With a modern expression, the infrastructure is trimmed.
Because forestry is beyond nature also about economics.
But there are very often spaces left to enjoy life among wonderful trees too.
