Dear Dave`rs, I invite you to follow me back in time, to were dragons, witches, warlocks, nuns, monks and joyful music were a part of eveyday life.
This week-end there has been medieval festival (or as some say midevil) in Horsens.
A little glance of what it looked like.
A warrior
A real wedding. Some couples marry under the festival
The flag bearers infront of the couple
The tournament
How wonderful! Thanks for posting all the photos. We have some here in the States but not so elaborate.
You are welcomed to see more photos on my website

As I just have limitted space it will be deleted in a couple of weeks. Not all photos are there, took about 300, but you can get an impression how fun it is.
There was lots of dancing, my knee is hurting:o))

Hi Darius.
Some nice costumes aren`t they. There were tourists from all over to see the festival. Always nice to meet new people.
Great pictures and I enjoyed your website too. thanks for posting.
Hi Pebble.
Thanks very much, I had fun taking them that is for sure.
Monica
Wonderful Fest, beautiful photos, and not a Viking helmet with horns to be seen, thank goodness.
Oh noooo that would have been much to scary LOL
Hi zest, thanx for the posting! It reminds me of our Cetic Festivals. Quite intersting.:)
thanks Music, if you are not busy this time next year, then you know were some fun is going on LOL
Some kids playing
Thanks for the pics zest.....hey that warrior is cute!
yes isn`t he :o)
Cute? He's a hunk!
What fun! Thanks for sharing the photos.
Monica put me down for - total agreement on "hunk"
Does he have a white horse?
Oh did not see it, but it probably was hidden some were, if a quick escape was needed :o)
I felt sorry for this little guy, he is the little brother from kid of the above photo, the one to the right and short hair.
No one wanted to play with him, he was to small. Poor little one :o(
I'm hoping that little boy grows up to be a hulking warrior coupled with the brains to outwit his brother! (and a sensitive heart that remembers how it felt to be left out...)
Thank you so much for posting these photos!
A long time ago I had a cultural exchange student come and live here in florida, she was from northern Germany...
She showed me photos of her riding a huge horse (looked like a clydesdale) with a long pointy spear (like a javelin or something) that she had to put through a gold ring about 1 inch in diameter, suspended by string between two posts. She had to do this while riding full tilt from 500 meters!
I was so impressed!
These photos you posted here (and at the link) reminded me of the her and the times we shared, thank you so much!
:)
Poor little guy....I wonder if the other kids were put off by that axe thing, it looks pretty scary. Who would let their kids play with those today? LOL
Hi Bright
Yes I agree with you, I felt soooo sorry for him, you can se in the photo how sad he was.
Oooh yes they had that riding thing here as well, but could not take a proper photo. Looked very difficult.
It is a good felling when you remember someone that you have met long ago isnīt, glad that these photos brought the times you had with her back :o)
Fly
Vikings, vikings!!! ofcourse LOL
Nice occasion pix.
Very nice indeed, the best thing is that everyone is the the best mood ever :o))
Lots of dancing, smiles and eating, the only thing missing are plant/flower merchants :o)))
