- fine royal deer park the Hjodtekjar ("Hjorte") =
deer).
Here we saw about 100 Cervus elaphus
including some very fine stags, all of them
roaring. A peculiar sound a long low vibrating
groan not unlike the distant sound of a
chain saw in an echoing forest. Also
perhaps 1000 Dama. Mostly red or black
but some white. I took photos at 1/50 + 3.5
1/50 at 2.8 + 1/25 at 2.8 the sun was very
low but I hope for the best. Also
photographed the 16th century hunting palace
used by the Danish Kings.
The deer are fed in the winter, these
poor animals are culled by a special keeper
but the larger animals are shot by the
king + his party. No particular trick to get
them but looking for the best animal
would make the operation a bit more
esthetic. The meat is sold in Copenhagen.
Denmark 4 million 1/3rd [one-third] in Copenhagen.
My general impressions are of a city
of culture, clean buildings, well organized
traffic, interesting old architecture, some
fine statuary. People are generally neatly to
smartly dressed. The streets are narrow in
the older parts of the town + are 1 way. Paving
by small cobbles + quite smooth. The suburban
areas are beautiful. Houses of brick, some stuccoed
