Photo of the Day: 10.000 Crosses

leave a comment »

Someone decided to set 10.000 crosses on cobblestones in the central square in Aarhus. Two problems with that: 1) there aren’t so many cobblestones in the square, 2) rainy weather makes this endeavor pretty much futile. Also, seems like someone has too much free time on their hands.

Android Snap of the Day: Font Bonanza

leave a comment »

Despite the fact that I’ve been living in Aarhus for almost 18 years, I often get lost in my own city. Last time that happened, I discovered this vintage door sign. According to the missus, the sign dates back to the 30′s. What makes it particularly interesting is that a different font is used for each line (except the first two words). In case you wonder what the sign says, here is the translation: Dealing, begging, carrying goods up the main stairs, and parking bikes and prams is prohibited
