The snow had begun to fall a couple of days earlier, tiny specks of icy wonder tentatively introducing the coming winter to the people of Copenhagen. Our nesting down for the cold season was ahead of schedule, choral chants humming through the house as we brought out fairy lights for the balcony and lit seasonal candles on the sideboard.
Come the weekend we sought to connect with the newly frozen landscape. Dyrehaven, just 10 minutes train ride north of the city of Copenhagen, is a perfect winter excursion. The cooler air outside of the city had preserved the glistening white frost; warm Nordic light casting the forest in an amber glow through the naked branches of manifold trees.
