I especially liked Monday and Thursday. I'm glad I didn't have to go into those clouds... even in a car. :-)

I am still on my bicycle tour of Denmark, although back at home base in Aarhus 
now. Today will be the last day of riding, before I fly home tomorrow. While 
the primary purpose of the tour is to cycle rather than to take pictures, my 
little Panasonic GF2 is along for the ride. I am still way behind in 
processing, but here are three images taken during the past week that I 
particularly like.

Monday 14 July.
This was the first day of our tour, going from Aarhus to Odense, H.C. 
Andersen's birthplace. It was the one day with bad weather on this tour. About 
20 km before Odense (out of a total ride of 144 km), the sky ahead looked like 
this (and yes, we needed to go that way and we did get drenched):

Tuesday, 15 July.
We cycled from Odense down to Svendborg on the south coast of Fyn (Funen), and there had 
lunch with a friend of Lars, Jørn Svendsen. Jørn is Denmark's premier bronze 
caster, and many well-known sculptors from Northern Europe have him cast their works. 
Here he is, showing us a statue that was about to be transported to the Faroe Islands and 
placed on a rock by the sea there. It was a truly fascinating visit with a fascinating 
man:

Thursday, 17 July.
I got up at 5:30 that morning, crawled out of the tent and went for a walk in the town of 
Stege on the island of Møn, where we had camped that night. The early morning light 
was beautiful. The bridge in the background, which we crossed later that morning, 
connects Møn with Denmark's biggest island, Zealand, where Copenhagen is located:

If anyone is interested in the bike tour as such, the journal is here (with 
more pictures, too, although they are selected mainly to illustrate the cycling 
rather than for artistic qualities):
