Skagen

On April 21^st, we visited Skagen, and after the Grenen's beach.

  

According to “Guide du Routard”, Skagen is famous for its painters. It has the highest number of sunshine hours in the country and the exceptional light attracted many artists over the years. Apparently, the sunset is spectacular.

Krøyer, more than any other painter, sublimated this was mid-blue mid-golden light that seems to melt into a sea and sky.

P. S. Kroyer - "Jour d'été à Skagen"

Skagen is the city the most in northern Denmark. With only 9000 inhabitants, Skagen is a small town, based primarily on tourism. Restaurants are spread along the port. More in the center, the yellow tones of the houses  illuminate the streets.

We had the chance to see seals basking on a rock.

The beach was full of starfish stranded. We believe this is due to either a violent storm that occurred the previous day, or fishing. Indeed, some fishing techniques scrape the seabed and thus drop starfish

At the extremity, the two seas meet. Left the North Sea, the Baltic Sea to the right, creating a meeting between two currents. Swimming is also prohibited because of too strong currents on the extreme tip.
