Ciara<p>Glædelig mandag. Just sending you a dark and stormy postcard from <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Aarhus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Aarhus</span></a> to wish you a bright and calm week.</p>
Ciara<p>And just when you were least expecting it, suddenly it was Monday again. Glædelig mandag. Here's a postcard from&nbsp;<a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Aarhus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Aarhus</span></a>, just to say that I hope this week treats you kindly.</p>

Ciara<p>The colours of resistance – the red, white and blue of the British Royal Air Force. To show support for the RAF and the Allied forces during the occupation of Denmark, young people started wearing red-white-and-blue hats and clothes. The campaign became so widespread that the Nazis banned the fashion because it 'mocked the Wehrmacht’.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/RAF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RAF</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Aarhus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Aarhus</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/Denmark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Denmark</span></a></p>

Glædelig mandag. Gingerly stepping into a new week in our fast-moving & turbulent world, wondering what it will bring. Here's a postcard from #Aarhus, just to say that I hope this week treats you well.

A winter sunrise, Aarhus, Denmark. The harbour. The sky is cloudless and pale blue with a stripe of orange on the horizon. The sea is blue-grey and gently rippling. Along the opposite piers, dark silhouettes of buildings and cranes in different shapes and heights, dominated by a 75 metre crane shaped like an angular giraffe. Sailing across the port opening, a gigantic cruise ship, one of those that has room for about 5000 guests. (No I am not endorsing cruise ships.) Dots of warm yellow light glow from windows in the cruise ship and the buildings. At our feet, in the water along the edge of the promenade, dark black rocks like ink blots.

'Love your body'

I don't know how the guerilla artist was able to both physically and secretly hang their artwork so high up a smooth facade on a busy mid-city street, but I'm glad they did. It made me stop and look and smile.

Looking closely at the rust-red facade of a building in city-centre Aarhus, Denmark. The sky is bright blue. A cream building with many windows is just opposite. You can't see from this angle that we are looking several metres above our heads. Electricity wires above give some sense of the height. I am holding the phone camera up very high to capture a small artwork. Same description follows for both photo alt texts, so skip if already heard. It is a small square grey ceramic plaque with tiny hearts dotted on it and the barely visible hand-written words 'Love your body'. Hanging below it, a small round metal circle bordered with ceramic shards, most turquoise, one like a bit of a genteel blue-and-white cake plate. Hanging below that, a little brass padlock, locked.

Just below a white-paned window on third floor (I don't know - let's guess: about six metres above street level?), a small artwork.

Vielsessalen. The Wedding Room. Artist Albert Naur decorated the registry office at Aarhus Rådhus (city hall) in 1941. He painted three walls with Spring, Summer and Autumn wildflowers. After liberation in 1945, he added a single bouquet of garden flowers in the colours of the British Royal Air Force. (RAF pilots bombed Gestapo HQ in Aarhus during the Nazi occupation.)

I only learnt that this week, in these new fascist times. I thought: how moving. I thought: we’ve learnt nothing.

A section of beautiful light brown highly polished wooden wall with flowers painted on it. The smallest bouquet, sort of singled out near the middle above empty space, is delicate blooms of red, white and blue. (Some look purplish, but it’s a poor photo with shiny reflections that distort the colours.) The thin stems loosely form an A and an N, the artist’s initials. And with a bit of good will, can be seen to form IV, the roman numerals for four, and also V for 5 or for victory. On May 4th 1945, it was announced that the Nazi occupation of Denmark would end the next day, May 5th.
A section of the wedding room at Aarhus City Hall with beautiful bouquets of different wildflowers and some vines of leaves painted directly onto the walls, which are a beautiful highly polished wood. There are big bouquets, tiny bouquets, different colours. The marriage registrar’s podium desk with two candles on it and the few chairs in the room are lovely white wood. The photos are poor – they had to be snapped very quickly and the surfaces are highly reflective, so they do the flowered walls and room no justice. It is an incredibly beautiful and peaceful space to see and be in.
