But first let me introduce our creative
"glasspuster" / glassblower.![]() Mette Bülow Duus is here at her workshop and business in the Latin Quarter in Aarhus. A wonderful glass artist. On all our trips to Aarhus we have visited her. Then some pictures from preparation for retirement, just watching, not shopping. In 2014: ![]() ![]() Sitting, not driving. ![]() We had a strong preference for Villa Provence in Aarhus. Villa Provence has a complete French style, almost like you have come to Provence. But it is located right in the centre of Aarhus, just a 2 minute walk from the main pedestrian shopping street (Strøget) and 1 minute from Åboulevarden with all its cafés and restaurants. ![]() During this stay we planned our wedding, ie my 60th birthday And we visited Gamle Aarhus (Old Aarhus), an outdoor museum in the middle of Aarhus. ![]() To show how close to the city center it is: To the left behind is the tower at Aarhus City Hall and then ARoS, the well-known art museum in Aarhus. ![]() But inside Gamle Aarhus there is peace and quiet ![]() The square with the well ![]() The geese roam freely ![]() Trusses are a wall construction made as a framework of timber. ![]() With the spaces filled in with brick walls or lined clay, half-timbered houses became the common building custom over large parts of Central Europe.
