Happy First Monday Not In January! Glædelig mandag. Just sending you a postcard from #Aarhus to wish you a good day and a good week.

Aarhus harbour after dark during festival week at the start of September. We are standing on the promenade in front of the library, where the Samsø island ferry docks. It’s for bikes and pedestrians only. There’s no ferry right now, just the white railings of the gangway, all lit up in a criss-cross of vertical and horizontal lines. Beyond, the harbour water is calm and black below a black night sky. Across the water, historic and modern buildings are all lit up, many in rainbow colours. There is a big variation in shapes and heights, giving the illuminated skyline a sense of a wavelength. The lit-up buildings are reflected in the pond-still sea. It’s a poor, blurry, grainy, messy snapshot that no self-respecting tourist board would put on an actual postcard, but there’s party light and colour and a sense of civic festiveness, I think.
