Skagen mornings

Somehow it is a mystery, that in a world of eight billion people, almost everyone seems to be on the same schedule. Yet, for me, that is a distinctive advantage as it means that I could have one of Denmark’s most popular beaches just for myself this morning. Heading out at 5 a.m., I ran up to the North Beach, passing the Air Control Wing with its large white radome, before jumping into the wild waters which, in retrospect, was perhaps a bit risky but all fine in the end.

Later on my run, I made it up to “Grenen” where the two seas meet. Yesterday, it was all crowded with photographers but, today, I was the only one taking photos. Four kilometres later again I was back in Skagen where I found both a gallery with Tintin-on-the-beach drawings and a bakery with some of those lovely Danish chocolate pastries.
