Dansk tekst

Vi, det vil sige Tranerne, bor i Ishøj, som er en forstad til København.
Her blev der i 1976-1980 etableret "Køge Bugt Strandpark", som er blevet et herligt natur- og fritidsområde.
Her blev Arken, som er et museum for moderne kunst, bygget og åbnet i 1996. Byggestilen passede efter vores (Tranernes) mening ikke helt til et strand- og naturområde, men Arken gjorde Ishøj mere kendt, så OK.
I 2016 blev der lavet en vandgrav om de ret iøjnefaldende bygninger, og det har efter vores mening virkeligt hjulpet. Her er der nu blevet ret flot, og med stranden, legepladsen, isbaren, lystbådehavnen og geocacher i nærheden, er det et sted der er værd at besøge.
Foran bygningen er der adskillige udendørs "kunstværker".

For at logge denne virtuelle geocache skal du, sammen med din logning, uploade et foto af dig selv fra et af de følgende to steder:

WP1 and WP2 />

Enten Waypoint 1: Bur og spejl.
Kunstværket "Bur og spejl" af kunstneren Jeppe Hein.
Her er der i et bur af rustne stålstænger ophængt et metalspejl, som kan dreje sig om en lodret akse. Det er faktisk ret sjovt, da vinden drejer spejlet.
Du skal lave et foto
- Stående udenfor buret.
- Med dig selv synlig i spejlet.
- Og ingen person må holde spejlet.
- Ansigt behøver ikke at være synlig.
(Se eksempel på foto her).

Trane i bur

Eller Waypoint 2: Insektvinger.
Kunstværket "stjernernes stenens mellemrum og former" af kunstneren Nana Debois Buhl.
Vi forstår ikke helt navnet, men der er nogle store insektvinger malet på væggen udenpå bygningen.
Her er det nok nødvendigt at have en person med til at tage et foto.
- Du skal stå lige foran "insektvingerne" på væggen.
- Det skal se ud som om at vingerne vokser ud fra ryggen af dig.
- Ansigt behøver ikke at være synlig
(Se eksempel på foto her).

Bagefter:

Tag en kort spadseretur ned til sandstranden og kast små sten i vandet, eller gå ud og find nogle geocacher

English text

We, Tranerne, live in Ishøj, which is a suburb of Copenhagen.
Here, in 1976-1980, "Køge Bugt Strandpark" was established, and it has become a wonderful nature- and leisure area. Here "Arken", a museum of modern art, was built and opened in 1996. The architecture did not (in our opinion) fit into the beach- and nature area, but it made Ishøj more known, so OK.
In 2016 a water filled channel was made around the rather eye-catching buildings, and in our opinion it has really helped. Here it has become quite nice, and with the beach, the playground, the ice cream café, the marina and the geocaches nearby, it is a place worth visiting.

In front of the building there are several outdoor "works of art".
To log this virtual geocache, you must, along with your logging, upload a photo of yourself at one of the following two places:

Either Waypoint 1 Cage and Mirror.
The artwork "Cage and Mirror" by the artist Jeppe Hein.

Here is a metal mirror, which can rotate around a vertical axis. It is inside a cage of rusted steel rods. It is actually fun when the wind turns the mirror.
You have to make a photo
- Standing outside the cage.
- With yourself visible in the mirror.
- And no person may hold the mirror.
- The face needs not to be visible
(See example of photo above)

Or Waypoint 2 Insect wings.
The artwork"Intervals and forms of stones of stars" by artist Nanna Debois Buhl.
We don´t totally understand the name, but there are some big insect wings painted at the outside of the building.

Here it might be necessary to have someone take the photo.
- You must stand right in front of the "insect wings" at the wall.
- It shall look as if the wings grow out of your back.
- The face needs not to be visible
(See example of photo above).

Afterwards:

Have a short walk down to the sandy beach and throw small stones into the water, or go find some geocaches.
