Last Friday we went to visit our grandchildren who are on holiday in Denmark. A whole day's driving (7 hours actual driving time to get to Skaven Strand).
That gave us 2 days to spend with the children. Yesterday a whole day to get back because I had a dentist appointments. While driving in Denmark our cell phone did ring - dentist assistent - she made a mistake - there never is a dentist present on Thuesday - so the appointment is on Thursday 16, my sisters birthday. Not very clever - we could have spend 1 day more in lovely Denmark!
.
This picture is taken after my sun pointed out this couple sitting on the same slope as we did watching a fascinating horse show. However when I am with the grandchildren they are the centre of my attention - so I would have missed this Viking couple.
The replica village is situated on the eastern shore of the Ringkobing Fjord (a nice place for windsurfers) and volunteers are dressed up in furs, homespun garments and tending to wood fires for making bread and giving warmth. In the weekend they sleep in the tents and after the village closes for visitors they gather around the fire in front of the catering tent and have a nice evening. It was nice talking to them. We even met a dutch "Viking" who met a danish girl as a teenager - married her and decided to go live in beautiful Denmark. Good choise!
.
I cloned out the people who were also watching the horse show (I will place it in WS) and I used
.
Canon Powershot A420 - 4 mega pix and 3,2 zoom
.
which was handed to me with a grand gesture when my own camera was still not fixed (I should be thankful but I am not - not really comparable with my SLR.
.
Have as nice a day as we had the last 4 days.

Hi Els,
very good PP effort !
The result makes for a really effective composition.
well done

Best regards, Daniel

You did a great job of cloning out those people. I always like to say that I hope it wasn't painful for them. :-) Interesting subject and story. I had some friends who worked at the Rennaissance Festival here. They said they had a great time after all the visitors had gone home. It became like a real village then.

Thanks for sharing this image!

Hello my friend

Wonderful capture here and some superb cloning work. I am glad you had a nice break. I am all packed to leave my dads and return home shortly this morning.

TFS regards Helen

Lovely 'pose' you captured here, Els.
Very unuseal look from your point of view but it is a good result.
Nice to read your story too. Did you bite on your lip, hearing the wrond day of visiting your dentist ? haha.
Well, now you both have a nice day to relax at home, Toch ?
Groeten van Jan.
We gaan straks José een stukkie zeeland laten zien.

Hi. Els.
Een zeer lieflijk tafreel en mooi genomen.
Roept zonder de tekst vragen op en dat maakt een foto interesant. Daarbij de korenbloemen.
En je hebt een geslaagd geheel.
Mooi gezien

Hi Els,

Nice colours. Very natural. The result is good for a Canon Powershot A420! Surprising! :-)
Hahaha, I now see the workshop and I see the surprise is due to the post processing. Well done! Haha, I now also see some repetition in the grass ;-).

Greetings! Dennis

Superb PoV and composition: it feels so very old, like a step back in time, especially since we cannot see but only imagine the faces
