Panorama Photo

After the overview I shot some series with the 300 mm. The view goes to some of the highest parts of central Sjælland, above the 100 m...don't get dizzy:-)

The landscape were created by, from a danish translation, so-called dead ice. Enormous blocks of ice broke off the retreating glaciers, and since it was no longer moving it is called dead ice. All the stones, clay and gravel in and on the ice was slowly assembling in depressions on the ice-shield, more and more as these glacial lakes melted deeper and deeper. Therefore the hills are simply sediment from these lakes.

The hill Gyldenløves Høj is generelly thought of as the highest point on Sjælland, with 126 m. However, most danish hills have a tumulus on top, and the highest natural hill on Sjælland is a disputed matter. What is nature and what is culture? In the case of Gyldenløves Høj the matter is obviously a "fake". In the 16-17hundreds, Gyldenløve (golden-lion) was a noblemans name given to the bastardsons of a series of kings in Denmark back then. One of them wanted to make sure, that his hill was the highest on Sjælland, and so he had enormous amounts of soil filled on top of his hill.
