As we have ridden on the S train north to Copenhagen, we have passed a number of other stops and wondered about those communities. Bob did some research and discovered an art museum, a park, and a somewhat familiar sculpture for us to explore in Ishoj, four S train stops north of Solrød, but south of Copenhagen proper.
Ishoj is a town of about 22,000, located on the coast. It has the largest population (37.5%) of immigrants in Denmark, many of whom came to work in the country during the 1960s to 1980s and then chose to remain.

This is “You and I Wandering on the Snake’s Tail” by Thilo FrankIshoj LakeThe attractive ARKEN Art Museum. We didn’t go in, as we were there outside of opening hours.We couldn’t find the signage for this piece. Maybe something related to climate change?Another view of The ARKEN“Cage and Mirror” by Jeppe HeinLooking across the Sound towards Copenhagen The beach.
