Once again, #AltText has made me look closer and be wiser. I’ve been watching this building go up. I decided it has enough finished windows now to be allowed on Mastodon on a Friday. I looked it up so I could put the height in the image description and discovered to my surprise that it's a wooden building. It turns out that it’s been named Træ (Danish for Tree), so once the sign goes up, I suppose it would have twigged with me eventually. #Aarhus #ClimateDiary #FensterFreitag #WindowFriday

The sustainable and striking design of this wooden office block seems to interest a few people, so it just occurred to me to show a bit more of the building. I don't have a good photo in my phone, and none that show it in its entirety. But I think these give a better idea of its full shape. #Aarhus

A bird's eye view of the Træ wooden office block, to supplement the worm's eye view I posted a few months ago. It's a fascinating addition to the cityscape, I think. Aside from the sustainable concept and unusual design, I like the way it catches and conveys the light and the weather and the time of day. #Aarhus

I knew they'd used old wind turbine blades in the construction of this new building. Until I saw the finished building close up, I didn't know how. Wind turbine blades repurposed into heat shades. There's a certain climate-crisis harmony in that. #Aarhus #ClimateDiary#WindowFriday #FensterFreitag

Jeg fik lige hørt @agger@expressional.social på https://fsfe.org/news/podcast/2026/episode-55.en.html om Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) local group i Aarhus og kom til at tænke på at der vist ikke rigtig bliver reklameret for det her på Fødiverset. Her er jo ellers propfyldt med folk der går op i fri software, og som måske kunne tænke sig at deltage. Så nu gør jeg det for jer. 😁 Så vidt jeg kan se er https://docs.fsfe.org/en/LocalGroups/Active/Aarhus det mest dækkende info. Måske værd at nævne at mange møder holdes online nu, så det er ikke kun for Aarhus længere. CC @fritjof@social.riversouldiers.dk og #Aarhus #FSFE

So, what to do in #Aarhus and #Malmö ? I am into #OSR and #Indie #TTRPG and like #Wargaming of the #ForbiddenPsalm / #Indie28 kind. Well, I actually also like playing #BoardGames and listening to #atmosphericblackmetal and #dungeonsynth . Bonus: any stuff to do with my family and good places for eating out.

Not only does #Aarhus have bus streets that pass under buildings, the Letbane does too in one place. In 2017, I only saw the Letbane's infrastructure, not the trams. So I am happy to finally see them in operation. #StrandbyMode

Line L1 of the #Aarhus Letbane runs from Aarhus H to Grenaa along the old railway line. The stations still have Banedanmark signs. L1 is operated by Stadler Tango trams, which are capable of reaching speeds of up to 100 km/h. However, the tram on my journey sounded rather unpleasant at high speed. In my opinion, the interior is rather uncomfortable for a 70-minute ride from Aarhus to Grenaa. The line L1 runs every 30 minutes. #StrandbyMode

This is my second visit to #Aarhus. I don't know why, but I don't remember my first visit to Denmark's second-large city in 2017 very well. So I'm enjoying refreshing my memory now even more. 😊 #StrandbyMode

#Aarhus has a bus-only corridor that crosses the old town from north to south. This corridor consists of several short 'bus tunnels' that pass through buildings. #StrandbyMode

Glædelig mandag. Just sending you a postcard from #Aarhus, just to say that I hope this week treats you kindly.

#bikepacking trip, day #17. We rolled into Aarhus after one last night in the tent, where we had breakfast and lunch and enjoyed the city until it was time to take the ferry to Zealand. Some more cycling and another ferry and we reached Frederikssund, from where we hopped on a local train to Copenhagen. 86 km. #cycling #velo #aarhus #frederikssund #copenhagen #kobenhavn

#bikepacking trip, day #16. We slept surprisingly well in the shelter, maybe too well given that we woke up a bit before 11, so we only started cycling around noon. We kept the same direction but left the coast, passing through Randers and finally camping just a bit before Aarhus. 99 km. #denmark #danmark #randers #aarhus

“From tee-shirt to towel. These hand-towels are made from 100% recycled textile including the museum’s used uniforms and work clothes. Using one hand-cloth instead of three sheets of disposable towel saves 30% in C02." Nice initiative at Moesgaard Museum. I happened to come across it just after hearing about the new EU rule that prohibits companies from destroying unsold new clothes. I was reminded of the fact: ‘It takes 1,500 litres of water to produce 1 tee-shirt.' #Aarhus#ClimateDiary

Glædelig mandag. Just sending you some flowers and a postcard from #Aarhus, just to wish you a good week.

’Higher taxes on fags?’ Public ashtray as voting booth. ’Create a wadwork.’ Chewing-gum disposal as artwork. An anti-litter campaign that makes you smile. Fair play to the unsung staff who sit in back rooms in council offices and come up with constructive, creative ideas like this. #Aarhus

Inside the museum of ethnography, you ascend a Stairway of Origin. On it, you meet 3.2m-year-old Lucy and 6 other reconstructed figures from the human species we’re descended from. You continue on a Stairway of Evolution that leads to the film exhibition ‘Human’. It explores where humans come from and where we are heading. Outside the museum of ethnography, you meet Robot No. 3 relentlessly cutting the dead brown grass in scorching heat while humans huddle in the shade. #ClimateDiary#Aarhus

Mid-afternoon, mid-city, the middle of the Summer holidays. This is usually one of the most bustling streets in the city centre. Always lots of people walking around, parking bikes, waiting to meet someone, cycling by, window-shopping, standing while doing something on their phone, hanging out, going in and out of the busy supermarket. Unsettling to see it almost deserted, the few people around all walking in the thin line of shadow on one side of the street. #ClimateDiary#Aarhus
