Deilige og inspirerende sommerdager på Bornholm

Typisk dansk - kanskje som i H.C.Andersens omgivelser?

Fascinerende knudrete, gule bergknatter ved Østersjøkysten  I sjøen utenfor passerer båttrafikk, også under vann...

Kornblomster i kornåker og rovfugl i det fjerne - utsikt fra min leiesykkel

Frodig og idyllisk på Bornholm

Eføy på tørr trestamme

Ols rundkirke - fascinerende middelalderkirke og antatt tidligere forsvarstårn

Hammershus, Nord-Europas største borgruin

Gammel borgvegg ut mot havet

Østerlars rundkirke - fascinerende middelaldersk kirkebygg med kalkmalerier, antatt kombinert forsvarstårn

Valmuer i kornåker - et eksotisk inslag for en nordboer

Høystrakt rosebusk i skjønne farver

Gammel vindmølle repareres


Østerlars middelalderkirke - kalkmalerier med dommedagsmotiv


En øy i vinden, omgitt av Østersjøen
Danmarks mange flotte kalkmalerier 
kan du se mer av her

These are a few glimpses picked out of my series of photos 
from the (now) Danish island Bornholm;
with peaceful nature, street views and old buildings.

The medieval fortress of Hammershus, constructed with grey and red stones,
was later an isolated state prison during the 1600s.
Here and there I saw half timbered farm houses, 
a couple of them having roofs covered in the old way, with reefs.
The very special white round shaped churches are medieval, as well, 
they are very beautiful constructions in it's environment, 
assumed to have been fortified during earlier centuries. 
The church roofs are covered with tiles of wood.
There were possibilities to climb a couple of steps up
to enter the insides of the upper church walls
I was tempted (unfortunately not enough) to enter there - 
those steps looked to risky, both steep and narrow to me... 
One of the churches had some fabulous and fascinating medieval 
mural paintings with monsters and hell
the paintings must have been quite impressive 
and frightning to the parishioners. 
Some of the small, naked men that are lined up to encounter the monster,
does in fact have crowns on their heads!
