Skagen, on the northern-most tip of Denmark, has gorgeous windswept beaches, open countryside, woods and moorlands. But its most distinctive feature is the many thousands of hectares of coastal dunes and dune heaths. These pictures were taken in March 2004.
Skagen is renowned for its magical light, said to be due to the sunshine reflecting off two main bodies of water - - the North Sea to the west and the Baltic to the east. But this picture, revealing the silvery light of the sun behind clouds, is like something out of this world.
