I’ve got to visit Denmark someday. Nice stuff.
I especially liked the last photo. Waves crashing on rocks move me in a very visceral way. Whether it’s related to my being descended from people who lived on a wave-battered rock island is not for me to say.
I hope this doesn’t sound pretentious; but waves crashing against rocks is for me an image of time vs. eternity; the brevity of the human life span. (Not to mention many other things this image can evoke. As a fisherman I would mention banging one’s head against the wall; as so much of one’s effort comes to naught 🙂
– Peter Kreeft has a lecture that’s available online (ISI.org) on man’s fascination with the sea.
What comes up in my mind when I see such images is patience, and peace in the storm. The rocks scorn the angry waves. They care nothing for the rage of the sea. I’m not like that, but I dream of it.
