OMG - Danes sure know how to ring in the new year. We had been seeing the occasional sparkling flower against the sky on and off all day on New Years Eve but I don't think any of us were prepared for the show we would see come midnight. Everyone in town, it seemed, had an astounding selection of fireworks for all to enjoy. We could look out any window of our house, in every direction, people were blasting off these spectacular fireworks that rival what we would typically see at MSUM on the 4th of July. I mean, they were BIG and they were constant for about an hour straight. All around us, there were light shows - popping, booming and crackling. It was AMAZING! Like nothing I'd ever seen! These people must have spent an fortune on fireworks.
I took some photos but it really doesn't capture the full effect. I also took some video and I will try to post that as well, because you can really see the sky lit up at every angle that way.
If you don't visit Denmark for any other reason; I mean if you don't come to see the famed Little Mermaid, the fine Danish pastries, the numerous castles and beautiful old cities, COME FOR NEW YEARS EVE! That alone has made this experience something special to remember for always.
Or you could just come to visit me....(got that Olsons????? Do ya? Huh? Do ya?)
Remember ~ This is all just from our back yard!!
