More pictures from Esbjerg, and this time the whole post is an answer to ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
luna_argentea's looong list of requests.
The local train station - like so much else in Esbjerg it's red brick.
The local town hall - sorry, but it's kind of boring looking.
And then a statue - how about a cute one...
...or perhaps something more modern?...
...or maybe something a little more traditional? This guy, Martin Spangsberg, was born in the late 17th century in one of the local villages. He spent most of his life in the service of the tsar and discovered the north passage to Japan - at least, so I've read.
A poster for an upcoming event at a local theatre - it's for a musical, "Meet me on Cassiopeia", about a muse sent to Earth to inspire a maker of musicals, who finds the time to have a romance with a pilot on the side, much to her father Zeus' consternation. I've seen the movie. It's fun.
A hotel - Cabinn - it's a supposedly cheap chain. I have a vague desire to spend the night at one of them some day, for no better reason than that one of their room types are called Commodore...
A postbox - as red as a postbox should be.
A flower display or two - not particularly impressive, but then, it's the wrong season for that.
And then she asked for a building with interesting brickwork - not quite sure what that means - I mean, most houses in this town is standard red brick. Anyway, a couple of buildings with something other than srb will have to do.
Then there's supposed to be a pond or lake, but I couldn't really find one in the immediate area - so how about a creek instead?
Then a street sign - unfortunately, the local ones are pretty much standard. Nothing special.
A street lamp - well, two.
And then a building with tower or turrets - how about a tower with turrets? The old water tower, to be precise.
And finally a boat or ship - unfortunately, most ships around here are industrial vessels - in other words, not very pretty. This one's an old lighthouse ship - it's a museum now, but unfortunately only open during the summer. I just missed it :-(
Personally, I think this ship is much prettier
