The kiosk on Ertholmene – the place where the youth often hangs out

Watercolor, drawing and text by Frits Ahlefeldt

On Ertholmene there is a small shop selling burgers, pizza, ice cream and souvenirs etc. to tourists in the daytime, and in the evening the local youth come around, sometimes alone, sometime with their parents to get an ice scream or grab some fast-food

Especially on the day after Ertholmene’s huge Summer carnival (end of July) the kiosk can be a very busy place, but on most days it is where the young often linger with their friends and smartphones.
