Du er stadig smuk

You are still beautiful

’Still.' Whenever I pass this garden gate, it feels reading someone else’s love letter.

@AgatheBleibtDaheim Tak - ha' en god uge!

Glædelig mandag. It's Monday, but only sort of. It's the Autumn half-term in Denmark when many people have the week off. Or at least a few days. Here’s a postcard from #Aarhus to wish you a good week and – if you’re on holidays - god efterårsferie.

@Devils_Rancher That is such a lovely memory, both the situation and the place.

@Devils_Rancher I just looked Mt. Bonnell up on Wikimedia and wow, I can see why you're fond of the place and the steps. Gorgeous landscape, amazing view!

@reynir Yes, the brass drinking fountain is a Hans Wegner design. I wonder when it was last connected. I think leaving it in place is the right choice - it's stunning.

@Chris 'Levitating benches' - that never struck me. Yes, they do look like they're levitating from some angles. I think the mounting mechanism is slightly more visible in this photo. Those architects were amazing.

@jbiserkov That sounds cool and inventive and instructive all at once.

@liebach Thank you. Say I, as if I were the Chief Stairs Architect.

@michael Trapper, der ikke fører nogen steder hen i hovedbygningen? I didn't know that. I'll have to drop in and see that next time i pass. Thanks for the tip.

@wolfgangcramer Great stairs, great shots!

@blotosmetek Looks like an amazing place.

@cazmockett Funny enough, it doesn't feel like that when you are standing in the actual space. You feel respect for the surroundings, absolutely. Yet it's also a very 'lived-in' public space with people wandering in, out and about all the time. There are ordinary council offices, the council chamber, the registry office and often pop-up exhibitions in the foyer. And many visitors on sight-seeing visits. It's both a special and an everyday space at the same time. Quite an architectural feat!

@blotosmetek That's quite a stairs!

@cazmockett And it's always spotless in there, everywhere. Fair play to the cleaning staff.

@leonieke Subdued. That's it. It's a very particular kind of subdued, flat awfulness-residue.

@leonieke Great composition. Captures the atmosphere of that place - I visited it years ago and it still sticks with me.

@leonieke Great shot

Such a beautiful public space.

@psneeze @ronanmcd They do, they do
