Evening colour ceremony at Birkholm

Each of the two nights we spend at Birkholm, the harbor master staged an “Evening Colour Ceremony”. He was playing the accordion and his assistant was playing the trumpet while the Danish flag was lowered shortly before sunset. The guest were signing along to songs like “When the Saints Go Marching In”, “I am sailing”, “Amazing Grace”, …

A beautiful ritual, that we have tried to capture in a short movie.

Note to myself: do not use the zoom when capturing a video!
