Glædelig mandag. The last Monday of the year. So here we are. Sailing out of 2024, on a collision course with 2025. Here Be Dragons. Here’s a postcard from #Aarhus to wish you a good day and a good week and godt nytår.

Aarhus, Denmark. Mid-afternoon, shortly before sunset, freezing, snow just about to start falling, standing on an outer pier at the harbour looking across the water towards the city centre. Across from us, the skyline with historic and modern buildings including the cathedral spire; the old custom house turrets; yellow light in all the windows looking cosy under swirling black snow clouds. The sea is cold grey. Just to our left, the prow (or who knows, perhaps it’s the stern) of a navy-blue boat with a big, low, wine-red deck, yellow lamps glowing in the approaching dark. Its name gleams huge and white in the dusk: Hermes Aarhus. The Port of Aarhus tugboat. From this perspective, nothing is moving and yet the sky and clouds and boat and city seem to be converging, sort of stormily.
