Yesterday Lei and I went to Lejre Experimental Center, Near Roskilde. It is an open air museum, with reconstructions of ancient living, stretching from the early stone age to the early 19th century, mainly with focus on the Iron Age. I really like these open air museums, because they tend to have very authentic nature, and combined with good weather and beef sandwiches with garlic butter, it is a winning combination.

I been there once, 20 year ago, and I have wanted to go back for a long time. There is something really fascinating about the Iron and Viking age history, especially for a kid like me, who grew up in the Roskilde area where the local history from this era is rich.

Anyway, we took a bunch of pictures, and geotagged most of them. I still use the “old” style Google map geotagging with visible geotags, partly because otherwise I had to rewrite my own Image fetching script, and partly because Google maps still tends to be much more detailed. You can see the geotagged pictures in the map section, or all of them on flickr.
