Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse
North Jutland, Denmark
In October 2019, Denmark’s Rubjerg Knude Lighthouse was “rolled” on a set of iron plates and wheels to its new location over 200 feet from the North Sea coastline.

The peninsula of Europe without islands and major peninsulas.
by u/TheBusStop12
Europe is sometimes called the peninsula of peninsulas.
I made this map about 5 years ago because I was curious what the main peninsula of Europe looks like without all the other peninsulas and islands around it.
The major peninsulas I removed are:
- The Scandinavian Peninsula (Sweden & Norway)
- The Iberian Peninsula (Spain & Portugal)
- The Balkan Peninsula (Greece, North Macedonia, Albania, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Kosovo & Bosnia and Herzegovina and parts of Serbia, Croatia, Romania, Turkey, Slovenia and Italy)
- The Apennine Peninsula (Italy)
- The Jutland Peninsula (Denmark)
- The Crimean Peninsula (Ukraine)
- Brittany (France)
- Kola Peninsula (Russia)
And the Islands are pretty obvious.
Why not Finland?
Finland isn't part of Scandinavia. Nor is it part of the Kola peninsula. Both of these kinda hang of this landmass.
Why not Anatolia?
Because geographically Anatolia isn't part of Europe, which is what this map is about
Why not Cyprus?
Same reasoning
Why make this?
Why not? I was bored

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (March 8th 2023) — Scandinavian scientists said Wednesday that they have identified the oldest-known inscription referencing the Norse god Odin on part of a gold disc unearthed in western Denmark in 2020.
Lisbeth Imer, a runologist with the National Museum in Copenhagen, said the inscription represented the first solid evidence of Odin being worshipped as early as the 5th century, or at least 150 years earlier than the previous oldest known reference — on a brooch found in southern Germany and dated to the second half of the 6th century.
The disc discovered in Denmark was part of a trove containing about a kilogram (2.2 pounds) of gold, including large medallions the size of saucers and Roman coins made into jewelry. It was unearthed in the village of Vindelev, central Jutland, and dubbed the Vindelev Hoard.
Experts think the cache was buried 1,500 years ago, either to hide it from enemies or as a tribute to appease the gods. A golden bracteate, a kind of thin, ornamental pendant, which carried an inscription that read, “He is Odin’s man,” likely referring to an unknown king or overlord.
“It’s one of the best executed runic inscriptions that I have ever seen,” Imer said. Runes are symbols that early tribes in northern Europe used to communicate in writing.
Odin was one of the main gods in Norse mythology and was frequently associated with war as well as poetry.
More than 1,000 bracteates have been found in northern Europe, according to the National Museum in Copenhagen, where the trove discovered in 2020 is on display.
Krister Vasshus, an ancient language specialist, said that because runic inscriptions are rare, “every runic inscription (is) vital to how we understand the past.”
“When an inscription of this length appears, that in itself is amazing,” Vasshus said. “It gives us some quite interesting information about religion in the past, which also tells us something about society in the past.”
During the Viking Age, considered to be from 793 to 1066, Norsemen known as Vikings undertook large-scale raiding, colonizing, conquest and trading throughout Europe. They also reached North America.
The Norsemen worshipped many gods and each of them had various characteristics, weaknesses and attributes. Based on sagas and some rune stones, details have emerged that the gods possessed many human traits and could behave like humans.
“That kind of mythology can take us further and have us reinvestigate all the other 200 bracteate inscriptions that we know,” Imer said.

Mette, Karen and Ulla, who are residents at Bostedet Aars, had invited Her Majesty The Queen to visit the North Jutland residential home. Today, they welcomed The Queen to the residential facility, which is aimed at adults with severe mental disorders.
During the visit, The Queen was shown around the facility's network café, where residents can gather for music, exercise, games or a cup of coffee, and The Queen also had the opportunity to visit a number of the residents in their private homes.
Bostedet Aars has a special focus on working with communities across other residents, employees and the local community, and the residence therefore offers social activities and events where residents can meet new people and expand their network.

Love a Net Zero Info post but in fact you can see some oceans meet even if the photos supplied in that post were of something else.
This:
is the interface between Skagerrak* and Kattegat** where they meet north of Skagen, Jutland.
The picture does not quite do justice to reality - when you're there in person, the wavefront where the two waters meet is more obvious (Or - can be. I'm sure there are still days, but I've been there in person and it was more visible to me that there were two waters meeting)
*The eastern-most part of the North Sea
** Western-most part of the Baltic Sea

OTD in 1944 a large force of 140 Wing Mosquitos crossed the North Sea to Denmark on a mission to attack the local Gestapo HQ. They destroyed it completely. Amazingly, this photo was taken on the actual as they streaked in low across Jutland. Just awesome.

'Very Rare' 1,000-Year-Old Viking Coin Hoard Unearthed in Denmark
Nearly 300 silver coins believed to be more than 1,000 years old have been discovered near a Viking fortress site in northwestern Denmark, a museum said Thursday.
The rare trove -- lying in two spots not far apart -- was unearthed by a young girl who was metal detecting in a cornfield last autumn.
"A hoard like this is very rare," Lars Christian Norbach, director of the North Jutland museum where the artefacts will go on display, told AFP.
The silver coins were found about five miles from the Fyrkat Viking ringfort near the town of Hobro. Notably, because they both have cross inscriptions, they are believed to date back to the 980s, the museum said.
The trove includes Danish, Arab and Germanic coins as well as pieces of jewellery originating from Scotland or Ireland, according to archaeologists.
Norbach said the finds were from the same period as the fort, built by King Harald Bluetooth, and would offer more insight into the history of the Vikings.
"The two silver treasures in themselves represent an absolutely fantastic story, but to find them buried in a settlement just eight kilometers from Harald Bluetooth's Viking castle Fyrkat is incredibly exciting," museum archaeologist and curator Torben Trier Christiansen said in a statement.
King Harald's earlier coins did not feature a cross, so he likely introduced the cross coins as propaganda in connection with his Christianization of the Danes, the museum said.
There could be a link between the treasure -- which the Vikings would bury during wars -- and the fort which burned down during the same period, Norbach said.
Archaeologists have said they will continue digging next autumn after the harvest.
They hope to find the burial sites and homes of the troves' one-time owners.
The Vikings believed that burying their treasure allowed them to find it again after death.
The artefacts will go on public display from July at the Aalborg Historical Museum.
The girl who made the discovery is due to receive financial compensation, the amount of which has not been made public.

Jens Vige (May 11, 1864 - 1912) was a Danish social-realist painter. He trained at the Academy and later with P.S. Krøyer. After marrying, he settled at Hammer Bakker in Northern Jutland and developed a preference for open air painting (he only worked summers) in Skagen and other heath and moor landscapes up north…
Here he has paid a visit to the capital region, though:
