When I first started hiking in the mountains, I relied on Fjällräven gear. Like many brands, it lost its roots and focus. But some of its soul has returned — and so have I. #hiking #Fjällräven #gearwithpurpose #SEEYOUOUTHERE

Five glorious days of sunshine in the Norwegian highlands — rare as hen’s teeth. And yes, I did it in a kilt.

The goings-on in the American government these days make the golden calf story seem more like a prophecy than a parable.

Here’s my plan to end the war between Ukraine and Russia. It may be a bit naive and optimistic, but right now it’s a tragedy for the people. The only winners are autocrats and weapons manufacturers. We’re living in a very unstable world order, and Trump is pushing us to the brink.

After the Great War, African American soldiers returned to a country where the KKK was on the rise, and racism, segregation, and Jim Crow laws were the norm. Between 13 and 15 veterans were lynched upon their return. #blackhistory

Danish veterans agree with the Danish Prime Minister. It is unacceptable, disrespectful, and ignorant of history. But what could one expect from a government that only thinks of personal profit and gain and does not value the veterans or the fallen?

Education and free learning are the foundation of democracy. That’s why autocrats and fanatics fear libraries and free thought – they prefer blind faith over knowledge. In 1933, the Nazis burned books. History reminds us why we must protect access to knowledge and ideas.

Everyone who hikes in the mountains knows how quickly the weather can change. There are about 3 hours between these two photos.

They gave Timmy Zeep in the picture a red cap and made him say what they wanted to hear: “The USA should buy Greenland.” But who is he really? In 2019, he was convicted for extensive hash smuggling and has multiple criminal convictions, including violent crimes. Interesting! #Controversy #Greenland

Due to the loss of the war in 1864 and the subsequent occupation of the southern part of the Kingdom of Denmark, the people of Southern Jutland were forced to fight in WWI for the Germans. Many families were deeply affected. This photo shows four brothers. I took it in the Memorial Park in Aarhus.
