I tried to scroll down fast so i dont look at any answers.
It cant be anything else than a road, covered by slushy snow that froze again. Typical in Norway :) . One day is freezing cold, the next it warms up and everything is wet and like slush. The next night it freezes again , and next morning hell is loose on the roads.

I and the photographer are of Danish descent. Does THAT make a difference?

Floor in a garage? Perspicuity? Is that some kind of sweat?

In a recent New York Times article, a Mr. Wiking (pronounced "Viking") described his native Danish language "as sounding like a dead seal choking." Thus you are not far off the mark!

The following, gleaned from an online dictionary, may -- or may not -- be of help:
noun
1.
clearness or lucidity, as of a statement.
2.
the quality of being perspicuous.
I guess we'll just have to sweat this one out.

My take on it is that if you want to learn Danish, the best way to pronounce correctly is to put an small egg in your month and talk :D :D :D

I'd say, based on what is in the upper right corner of the image, that we are looking at a frozen over river, lake, or canal, being used as an ice road in the winter. That upper right corner looks like running water under a patch of clear ice.
