I was walking through the suburbs one day and this garden caught my eye. Well, it wasn't really a garden it was just the side of someone's house but the wall was so striking and then there were these skinny trees in front of it. I dunno, I just thought it was a funky way of spicing up a suburban house - they have a tendency to all look the same.
Photo of men unloading a supply truck to one of the supermarkets near Pårup (a suburb of Odense). Nothing spectacular, I just thought it was a nice looking photo.
These circular notice boards are found scattered around the city with bar flyers, band adverts, that kind of thing. This one is placed near Kongenshave, the big park across from the train station right in the city center.
Sorry for the crappy quality; this photo was taken from a bus!
I'm told this is an agricultural school on the outer parts of the city (not in the center), which hosts quite a few foreign students also. It's a really beautiful big old building, which is why I took a photo of it and then I found out what it was.
These, as well as fitness centers, are everywhere in the city so I suppose they must be popular although no one I know uses them. It's a place where you go in, pay 20kr or so and get a certain amount of time on an un-attended sun bed. That means no one works there, you just pay money to gain access to the beds. Well, as far as I know :S
The third part in my series of Odense Bus Culture! Here shows a map which is on all the buses. Between this, and having the street names electronically flashing at the front of the bus, it's pretty hard to get lost.
All the city buses have a supply of free daily newspapers put on every morning. They are attached to the holding poles on the bus with these sacks and rope attachments. Generally by the end of the day they are all gone. They are always placed in this part of the bus, the bit where parents can put their baby strollers/the eldery can park their zimmerframes... you know, the widest part of the bus. That way, everyone can access them easily as they pass through the bus.
On each city bus, there is this black noticeboard (I guess you'd call it) which changes to show each street that the bus is on as it drives down it. That way you know when to push stop if you are unsure. A computerized voice also reads out the names of the streets as it changes.
This is Odense train station from the back; the ticket office is one or two stories up along with some shops, a cinema, net cafe, etc. The escalator (that long box-y structure in the center of the photo) takes passengers down to the platforms.
