tour de denmark: esbjerg

Esbjerg is a municipality in the South Denmark Region on the west coast of the Jutland peninsula in southwest Denmark. It is the 5th largest city in Denmark a total population of 114,244... went there without any idea of any attractions, but somehow, managed to figure out something to entertain myself with... the centre of esbjerg, the market square (torvet)...as usual, churches... zions kirke is the largest and most spacious church in the city... was completed before the outbreak of the first world war in 1914, and undergone renovation in 2003-04... vor frelser kirke is the oldest urban church in esbjerg and was built in 1887...omans, i wanna be buried here when i die!! no kidding, this cementry is so well-maintained and is one of the prettiest that i've seen in europe...the fishermen's memorial grove...never realized that denmark can be so pretty in the summer... flowers and more flowers... not to mention that the train passed through fields and fields of yellow flowers... man meets the sea... visitors arriving from the sea will be greeted by this monumental sculpture (by svend wiig hansen), which was raised on the occasion of esbjerg celebrating its 100th anniversary as an independent municipality in 1994... the sculpture protrays the meeting between pure, unspolit mankind and the nature...
