I always enjoy seeing my country (yes, I will always consider Denmark my country) from the air.

We spent Tuesday trying out my new bike and walking around the city enjoying the good weather. This is the tower of Aarhus&#8217;s city hall, designed by the famous architect Arne Jacobsen. It opened in 1941 and is the city&#8217;s best-known landmark, although now the Aros art museum provides stiff competition (see below):<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"uploads\/2012\/30_7.jpg\" alt=\"IGP5264\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>30_8<\/strong><br \/>\nA nice sight on the main pedestrian street in Aarhus.
