This is not the End of my Street, but the End of Continental Europe, where I spent last week.
At the very top of the Denish peninsula Jutland (Denish: Jylland) the Skagerak (part of the North Sea and so part of the Atlantic Ocean) and the Kattegat (part of the Baltic Sea) are meeting.
With a lot of currency and a lot of shifting due to heavy winds the sand forms a sharp tip, that is moving towards the NE over the years.
When I was a child I enjoyed standing there with one foot into the Atlantic and one foot into the Baltic Sea.
This year I enjoyed childhood memories sitting on one of the many bunkers (not so nice memories of the second world war).

Today's topic for Corner View was chosen by Daan, who has a list of all Corner View participants here.
It would have been so easy to show you the end of my street, because I just have to step out of my door. I live at the dead end of a small street that leads directly into a big wood (luckily my neighbours recently bought the first part of the wood to prevent the prolonging of the street).
But: I forgot my camera in my car which is in the garage today. I will put a picture in this post tonite or tommorrow.

Da würde ich auch gern sitzen!
ReplyDeleteDas Salz der Luft schmecken, den Wind in den Haaren...
Das Ding am Nähfüßchen ist ein Fingerschutz. War schon montiert, als ich die Maschine kaufte. Bei meiner "Alten" bin ich ein paar mal zu nah an die beweglichen Teile gekommen, das tut schon ganz schön weh. Aber das kann mir ja jetzt nicht mehr passieren.
Die Ikea-Stoffe gefallen mir auch nicht immer. Aber die Auswahl, die ich für das Projekt bekam, finde ich richtig klasse.
Ab Montag kann ich zeigen, was daraus entstanden ist.
Und ja-die Ikea-Community ist ein Forum für Familymitglieder und frau kann dort viel Zeit verbringen.
Dir schöne Tage Katrin
