Description

Another shot from the North Beach, Kattegat. You know what "Kattegat" means? "Cat-hole" Etymology According to Den Store Danske Encyklopædi and Nudansk Ordbog, the name derives from the Dutch words kat (cat) and gat (hole, gate). It derives from late medieval navigation jargon, in which captains of the Hanseatic trading fleets would compare the Danish Straits to a hole so narrow that even a cat would have difficulty squeezing its way through, on account of the many reefs and shallow waters.[5][6] At one point, the passable waters were a mere 3.84 km (2.39 mi) wide. The name of the Copenhagen street Kattesundet has a comparable etymological meaning, namely "narrow passage".[6] An archaic name for both the Skagerrak and Kattegat was the Norwegian Sea or Jutland Sea (Knýtlinga saga mentions the name Jótlandshaf). Its ancient Latin name was Sinus Codanus.[7] Wikipedia Have a beautiful day. Here we have only 10 C but sunshine and fresh wind. Thank you for visiting :)

This is an AMAZING wild, wide, lively, and terrific shot, Helle. All is so impressing to me, my friend. The info I tried to read, but my eyes are hurting far too much, I have a storm inside, lol, or a Kattegat of my own. btw It's almost Dutch that kattegat.
