Just returned from the beautiful Danish island, Fanø, where they host the International Kite Flyer Meeting every summer since 35 years.
But first, I think I will give you a short glimpse of what this small island has to offer – before we fly away with the kites. Because, we arrived late and got the keys to our lovely Blue Guesthouse…
Then we took a first walk down the street…and found all the thatched roofs and this one – a gorgeous moss roof…
Later in the evening they opened the top window – and you will find it in the header…
As we silently strolled along the cobbled streets, dusk finally caught us. But it never gets really dark this close to Midsummer…
So, finally we had to return to our house – tomorrow we were heading to the beach and the kites. We already felt there would be some great days ahead.



Wow. How beautiful, and just so peaceful does this look?!
Just seeing the pictures induces an endorphins surge!
Wow – I am very pleased for you!
It looks like a lovely island.
Really beautiful–enjoy!
Thank you – I did!
I have been a couple of times to Fanø and it is indeed a fairy tale island. You captured its beauty and special character beautifully in these images.
Thank you, Otto, I so appreciate your comments. We were there for the kites – I had never heard of the festival before.

Harming and peaceful. Looking forward to seeing the kites
Thank you – but I have hundreds of photos from those kites……..will try to take you there tonight or tomorrow!
Just noticed a typo, of course I meant charming not harming!!!
I guessed you meant that😉
I also read about your trip on Vivi’s blog. It sounded like a great trip and what wonderful photos you took. Such a cozy place to stay and the beach side views look refreshing 🙂
Yes – a very special trip. I have never seen that many kites before, and never seen that many houses with thatched roofs. And the Danes are always just smooth and lovely people!
A-C, that top image …. just love it. You have really captured the feeling of that evening … after the rain. Yes, get me back on the island soon. *smile
Someday…
What about tomorrow?????!!!!! *laughing

Fabulous! I know you had a good time, because I have read Vivi’s post!!
Haha – which one!

This is such a quaint and beautiful area. Your title fits perfectly.
Thank you, Mary!

The two of us, Viveka and I, are completely in love with it.
I can see why. I’d love to stroll there myself.
You will have to come visiting us…
I would love to. Perhaps one day soon.
