Does the existence of the and the imply the existence of the and the ?

Our very first visit to Norway found us in Bergen on a day that started off rainy but did brighten up as the day wore on. We had no plans during our 2013 visit other than to walk around and see what caught our eyes, and ended up buying jewellery, some more typical souvenirs, and having a beer outside somewhere. Not great beer, but nice to try the local stuff anyway.

An overcast day with drizzly rain and the people we can see are mostly wearing raincoats with some holding umbrellas. We're in a city and standing next to a dock that stretches through it. Buildings are set well back from us on the right and across the flat, grey water on the left more buildings on the other side of the harbour area can be seen. Tied up alongside in front of us is a modern sailing boat created in the style of a Viking longboat with very high, curved prow and aft and a single mast in the centre. The boat is warmly-coloured wood with a little green, red, and yellow accent colouring on its hull. It feels cold and damp.

One day at the end of July 2016 I went to #Poel #Island with somebody visiting us here in #Wismar to take a bath in the sea.

It was mid morning and we went out for a nice swim.

Back at the beach I took my camera from my bag and scanned the sea, suddenly stopping in mid swing:

Far out on the #Baltic #Sea I saw:

A distant square sail.

The head of a dragon.

A true #longboat!

It was the "Helge Ask" from #Roskilde passing by on a summer trip! 😎 

What a sight!

A blurred foto of a distant ship with a square sail passing by. It is the "Helge Ask", a replica of the Skuldelev 5 ship from Vikingeskibsmuseet Roskilde. As close to a real longship as you can get.
