Demark Pt. II


I was actually in a tank top and rolled up jeans in September at the ocean. I know for some it doesn't sound amazing, but remember we are in Scandinavia, it is amazing!
This church was not as interesting as we thought it would be. It is build on the sand dunes of Denmark. Shockingly enough (notice the sarcasm), a sand drift made it to the church and eventually covered most of the church. They tore down most of the church but left the tower as a landmark. I was really looking forward to seeing the church covered in sand. It could have some real theological significance, but alas, it was just a tower.

Love this picture. The light in Skagen is famous amungst some artists and there is special art dedicated to this area.

This was before Samuel got soaked for the second time in the day.

This is after he got soaked. Daddy is so great to give Sam his sweatshirt and carry him back to the car. Behind us is where the two oceans meet. You can actually walk out quite a ways it is not deep for a while. When you get onto the beach and start walking to the tip there are two World War II bunkers that the Germans used. It was eerie and a little strange to see them (of course they are covered in graffiti now, but it is easy to see what they were). I didn't get a picture of it, but it makes you think about what an awful time that was in history.
