Veredit's Photographic Poems: Tønder

Hallo lieber Gast

Hallo lieber Gast, willkommen in den klaren Weiten im Norden Deutschlands, begleite mich auf meinen Pfaden durch die Natur, Ausflügen und Reisen, auf der Suche nach Ruhe und Anregung. Entdecke mit mir Linien und Freiräumen, die die Perspektiven, die Vielfalt der Farben und Formen dieser Welt und unserer Natur uns bieten und genieße Momente der Nachdenklichkeit, Poesie und philosophischen Worte großer Dichter und Denker, manchmal auch meine eigenen lyrischen Texte dazu.

Schön, dass Du Dir die Zeit genommen hast - wunderbar, Dich hier zur wissen!

" Ich muss mich ganz im Stillen mit meiner Außenwelt reiben,. sonst werde ich untauglich für die Welt."

- Paula Modersohn-Becker

Autumn stroll through Tønder, Denmark and William Butler Yeats

The last hint of light at this gorgeous day at Tønder, Denmark.

Best things about rainy Autumn days are that even lovely locations aren't crowded.

There's no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing.”

― Alfred Wainwright

Beautiful old houses with awesome windows and decoration.

And it rains cats and dogs the whole day.

Bikes, Bikes and more Bikes everywhere in Tønder.

We enjoy our walk so much!

A lot of Danish flags to see.

Aren't they cute?

The shops in Tønder are so, so beautiful and even more on a rainy Autumn day.

Nisse Heaven!! I couldn't resist and now we own a lovely boy Nisse. This shop was simply magnificent.

Empty streets, cold and windy but there where some "hyggelige" coffee shops too .
Hyygelig means nice, pleasant, cosy, comfortable.

Great food, very kind service. It's always so wonderful to visit Denmark.

She/He was waiting for some cuddles or simply enjoy these cosy plaids all around.

When You Are Old

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,

And nodding by the fire, take down this book,

And slowly read, and dream of the soft look

Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,

And loved your beauty with love false or true,

But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,

And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,

Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled

And paced upon the mountains overhead

And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

William Butler Yeats

On a stroll through Tønder - Denmark

Tønder, city, southwestern Jutland, Denmark, southwest of Åbenrå. Founded in the 13th century and chartered in 1243, it was a prosperous seaport in the Middle Ages until its harbour silted up. From the 17th to early 19th century it was the centre of a lace industry, which was revived after 1920. Industries include high-tech aluminum and cardboard manufacturing. Of historic interest are Christ Church (1592), with its medieval tower; many old gabled houses; and the gatehouse-museum of the 16th-century Tønderhus Castle (destroyed 1750). The main street of the nearby village of Møgeltønder, with its thatched cottages, is a national monument. The Schackenborg Castle is a royal residence. The city, within the border region of Sønderjylland (North Schleswig), passed to Germany in 1864 but was returned to Denmark by a plebiscite in 1920.

There’s something about arriving in new cities, wandering empty streets with no destination. I will never lose the love for the arriving, but I'm born to leave.
