Monday. In a week with no festivities and five working days. Oh well. Glædelig mandag. Here's a postcard from #Aarhus to wish you a good day and a good week.

Aarhus harbour, mid-afternoon, january a year ago, just before sunset. The sky is cloudless and pastel blue with a strip of pink along the horizon. The pink is reflected in the calm sea. Beyond, to the left of the port opening, geometric skyscraper buildings - an oblong, a triangle, a clock tower - glow gold in the setting sunlight. On the industrial dock opposite, a 75 m blue harbour crane and warehouses including one whose facade is painted with a line-drawing portrait a man. Beside that, a facade painted in the colours of the Ukrainian flag. To our left, foreground, we can just see the prow of the a local sightseeting steamer, Helene of Aarhus. It is white with a red trim and festive lights twinkle on her mast. The surface of the sea right in front of us, stretching metres out from the water’s edge, is covered in a thin layer of ice. The ice has cracks in it that give the effect of a jigsaw puzzle of paving slabs.
