While cycling the small roads of Denmark I always stop at the churches and I always walk around the churchyards. Often I’ll have my lunch on one of the benches. The Danish churchyards are always immaculate, always interesting, beautiful and peaceful. I could do an entire photo essay on the trees in Danish churchyards. They are magnificent in all seasons. This photo is one of my favorite churches. It is at the west tip of the island of Ærø, in the harbor town of Søby. Like most Danish churches, this one has the hanging sailing ships and the chandelier. I love knowing I will see those in every church I step into. What I love in this small church is the deep blue sky of the ceiling and the intense yellow wheat of the pews. They reflect the surrounding fields of Æeø.
Søby is not a “cute” town, but I love it. I always stayed at the B&B of Dres and Karla Johansen. Søby is an honest working town.
