I’m working on this totally awesome project for a museum here in Denmark. I have to make photo’s from the Viking age…. which means that I have to find some of the oldest looking forest here in the country. And that is a whole lot of fun and quite challenging at the same time.

Here’s a photo I made in Rold forest in Jutland – the biggest forest in Denmark – a photo that I really like. but there are two things that makes this a non Viking forest.

1. The stump is sown over not chopped with an ax
2. Pine trees did not exist in the Viking Age.

The first one is kind of a no brainer, but I surely didn’t knew the other one.
