And so the last picture from Ingolfs’ this time around. I can’t promise there won’t be more. It is my ‘office’ and I come here every day.
My thought here is: why do flowers have to pretty to be worth photographing? Why not simple, slightly worn down flowers?
Originally I shot the portrait of the horse from a different angle. Turned out when I had a look that this shows the front of the café from a different view than usual. I can’t claim to be the first to think of this as I feel almost positive that I have seen this before. The photo doesn’t hang in the café anymore, though.
The third of the three seasoned musketeers is perhaps more earnest in his stern expression. This is one horse you do not want to mess with!
The battle scarred elephant is not alone. The cheerful bear keeps him company, but how has he managed to escape so unscathed?
To me there is a sinister quality to this portrait of a worn down carrusel elephant. How can it still be smiling when it is so battered? What has it got to smile about? Can we detect smugness as well? And how exactly did it get those scars?
As a rare treat you get two for one this time. I couldn’t decide which one to use but the photoes are too alike to warrent separate posts. Juping down was my daughter’s idea after a while of climbing up and down the wall while I was photographing. In the distance you can just make out a tall white structure to the right – that is Turning Torso in Malmø, Sweden.
I posted some pictures taken at Amager Beach (Amager Strand) a while back. Today and tomorrow I have a couple more to show you – this time from when I took my daughter there for ice cream.
This particular place is my favorite along the beach. It’s called Strandtorvet, and you can get great ice cream from a 50’ies camper and eat it while lookin across Øresumd to Sweden or watch people ride Segways, play minigolf, lie on the sand, rollerskate or practice kiteboarding. If you want peace and quiet, just go on a weekday.
As I’m listing the photos chronologically here comes a glimpes of Halvandet on a sunny day. I caught my daughter while she busy getting to her next hide-and-seek spot.
Another shot of the café on the corner of The 8 Number complex – the one with the unrestricted view of the nature reserve. I was looking for lines, though, not scenery 🙂
The 8 Number lies at the Southern most end of Ørestaden – a new city district being built on Amager, a few kilometers from the center of Copenhagen. The complex overlooks Vestamager – a nature reserve. What you see in the picture is the café and the view of Vestamager. A row of artifical lakes have been established at the edge of Ørestaden.
Bonusinfo: In the summer cows from other parts of Denmark spend the summer on Vestamager to keep the grass down.
