Water
My contribution to Scott Thomas assignment “WATER ” will be this photo, taken today on our drive along the coast line of Zealand. This water, Øresund / Østersøen (the Easten lake – even it is not a lake), seperate Denmark from Sweden, -our hereditary enemy when it comes to football. There has of course been many wars between our two countries, land and jewellery has changed hands, and stories of the enemies brutality has provided stories that can be told forever.
The “Eternal peace” between our countries was signed in 1658, after the Swedish army had been able to march directly to Denmark, because of very hard frost. Thick enough to carry an army. As the winner of the war, Sweden got these areas : Skåne Halland and Blekinge, -a fact that surprisingly still seems to annoy some.
All this happened 350 years ago, and have been celebrated with exibitions made by Swedish and Danish museums.
We do like the swedes a lot now days, and respect their well-developed society. Actually we have made a bridge to Sweden. Apparently we can´t stop them anyway.
Scott Thomas invite everyone to join the assignment, you are welcome, too.
