it’s the birthplace of Jonas Vingegaard, who just won a bike race
he has said that cycling is a better career than working in the local fish factory
I couldn’t find a picture of that, and there isn’t much else in the town other than regular Danish-looking houses
the pic is the Hillerslev Kirke - a bit prosaic, but maybe they’re just plain Lutheran folks who don’t fuss about saints

now that we’re getting closer, the location or the name of the street would be good - historical significance optional bonus
yep - one of the grand public spaces of which Athens has several
the square in the foreground is in front of the National University / National Library / Athens Academy complex [to left of pic]

along with the Polytechnic not far away, this area was one of the focal points for that uprising - students being crushed under tanks etc
