Wonderful Denmark
I arrived in Wonderful Denmark and promptly landed on someone's head. After a brief encounter with a bench, I managed to fly up into the air to get a view of the landscape. I flew across around quite a few times to get an overall impresssion of the place, and then again to start to take in details. There's a lovely little Danish town beneath you, farm animals such as horses and cows. I landed next to the cows and interestingly they were brown and not the Fresian or Jerseys you might see here. Maybe even Highland cattle on wilder regions. I started to get really interested in the landscape, and began to appreciate the features that were different to the UK. I was set on finding an elk. No elks to be found, anywhere. :(
Somewhat bemused, I went back to the blog entry and discovered that I was looking for an inanimate object rather than an animate. So, providing someone hadn't put a giant stuffed elk on the landscape, the answer wasn't going to be that. Hmmmm, so what is it?
I flew around again, and again. Finally I spotted a very large structure on the hill and though, "Aha! Maybe that is my familiar giant." So my choice is also a windmill, now sadly missing from much of the UK landscape. (Please note that windmills are also green technology) The thought that triggered my choice of windmill was the flat landscape and the rural theme, so the connection to windmill counties such as Norfolk.I remembered a very lovely drive I made with a friend a few years ago across the fields of East Yorkshire. We stopped and looked at the (sailess) old windmill on a bright sunny day. This lovely ancient white structure was one of the last of its kind in the area. We stood and pondered for some time, before driving through the country lanes to our destination.
