The Silent Watchers of the North Sea and the Singing Swans

They watched the sea, waiting for any sign of their men returning...

It is a wild and windy coast, a place where fishing boats left from, and some never returned. It is  a place of deep antiquity , layered with the centuries of human and geological history. Amber is tossed upon  the beach , a relic of storms passing...
It is  a place of war, where the German battlements now lie conquered, in the sands of the sea, as it claims its victims and buries them with no fanfare.
It is a place where in 1000BC, farmers created an agricultural beginning.....

and the women of stone stand

as a memory  and a reminder of human loss




and we drove away
to the inland
where swans  had gathered to feed,

the singing swans of Denmark in the fading daylight



it is a beautiful place.


The coffee and the bread made from special wheat by a boutique baker

then home
