Wooden Footbridge, Jutland Peninsula, Denmark, 1998

A wooden bridge leads the way to a Danish castle surrounded by water. It was common for Danish lords to build their castles on small islands surrounded by lakes as a security measure. If no lake existed, an artificial body of water might have been created in its place.
