Right left, left right, right left...

I'm sitting in the right side of the car and driving in the left side of the road. For some an everyday thing for others a new routine they need to get use to. Right left, do I think, when I am turning left and entering the first roundabout, which they have plenty of here in U.K.!

I have rented a car for a few days, since my parents are coming and I am looking forward to see them as I have not seen them for 5 month. I am trying to get use to this, since this is my first time driving in "the rung side" of the road while I am use to be driving in the right side of the road and sitting in the left… But as I am heading to London to pick them up in Heathrow Terminal 5 it is starting to fill usual to drive in the left side.

The Stone guesses

The landscape makes references to the moors of Jutland, when we are driving at the narrow and curvy roads, while Sheep’s are standing at the fields.

After a short walk, the stones are becoming visible. The wind is blowing in my face, while we are getting closer to Stonehenge, which is a part of UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the Seven Wonders of the Medieval World.

​The wind is strong and cold, while we are walking around the phenomena, who nobody really can explain. There are many different theories about Stonehenge, but still today it has been impossible to find the real reason for the stone formation, but most theories agree it was build between 2000 and 3000 BC.

The thermal baths

The sun is coming though the clouds while we are driving downhill, with the view over Bath. The colors are bright and strong, from the trees and the white stone-color, which the houses is made of.

Bath, also known as Aquae Sulis (The waters of Sulis), after the Goddness Sulis, is located small 156 km west of London, with a population of 88.000 people. Not only is Bath located beautifully in the hills it also became a World Heritage Site in 1987 and is known for its Roman-built baths.

The steam lies as a smooth layer over the water, and by standing next to it, it is possible to fill the heat from the water, from where the Abbey Church of Saint Peter can be seen in the background. Even though you can not enter the water at the Roman Baths Museum, Bath Abbey, in Bath, it is still easy to get the association of how it would have been to be here hundreds years ago, in the 7th century when Bath Abbey was build and has been rebuild over different centuries. In the 17th century the water from the springs was used as spa, which made Bath famous.

​​The history of Bath is huge and the references to the Roman time is easy to fill, when I am walking around the city, when I am walking at the narrow streets with the white stone houses. It is a bit colder here than in Bournemouth, where I live, but It is interesting to see the shoes people are warring, since it is most stylish leather shoes and many men is in the traditional Oxford-style shoes. The impression of Bath is as how I imagine a traditional English city.

The Jurassic Coast

"Work is the curse of the drinking class"

"Man hath no better thing under the sun than to eat drink and be merry”

So is it written at the walls in the Red Lion. We are having a lunch break this Sunday, while we are driving alongside the Jurassic Coast. The traditional Pub, with dark wood and 10 different beers on tap, is full, since families are coming to enjoy their Sunday lunch. We are getting energy to continue our joined to West Bay, since there should be a great view over the Sea of the Jurassic Coast between Abbotsbury and Bridport.

The Roads are narrow and curvy, but when the light is coming though the skies, the view is great. It is out of season, so there is nearly no traffic, as the small roads doing season can be quiet packed, since The Jurassic Coast is a World Heritage Site, with a distance of 154 km going from Studland Bay in Dorset to Exmouth in East Devon.

The World Press Photo

The time is going fast and after a day visiting the Sea City Museum in Southampton, focusing on the history of Titanic, and the sea traffic from Southampton to the rest of the world could be explored, we are heading at M3 to Heathrow Terminal 5. After some good family days it is time for my parents to go back to Denmark until I will see them again for Christmas.

“I believe that the key to the future is in the remnants of the past. That you have to master the idioms of your own time before you can have any identity in the present tense. Your past begins the day you were born and to disregard it is cheating yourself of who you really are”

- Bob Dylan, The Beaten Path, 2016

So is one of the quote, which is hanging on the wall at the exhibition of Bob Dylan, The Beaten Path at the Halcyon Gallery in London.

After saying goodbye to my parents Tanit who has studied journalism and who I now am studying with, and I heading to Central London. We are going to see the yearly exhibition, World Press Photo at Southbank Centre, which the Danish Photojournalist Mads Nissen won last year, with his series about Homophobia en Russia.

The Winner this year is the Australian Photojournalist, Warren Richardson, who won with his picture showing a man passing a baby through a barbed wire fence on the Serbia-Hungary border, an image of the immigration crises that faced Europe.

Not only is London seen as being the financial headquarter of Europe, it is also seen as been home for Fashion, Art and Galleries. Therefor after seeing the World Press Photo, we are heading to Soho, before we are entering the Halcyon Gallery, who are having the newest exhibition of the Nobel price winner, 2016, Bob Dylan - The Be Beaten Path -, which can be seen until the 11th of December 2016.

“My destiny lay down the road with whatever life invited, had nothing to do with representing any kind of civilization. Being true to yourself, that was the thing”.

- Bob Dylan, Chronicles, 2004
