My cell phone rang. “What are you doing?” “Shooting garden gnomes at the mall.” “What?”
I needed photos of garden gnomes for one of my canvas work. Not this one, but I thought it was pretty fun.

My on-line portfolio
A slightly different posting for you today. I’m really excited. I’ve finished my on-line portfolio and it looks just like I wanted it to.
I use it to present the more artistic side to my photos and in a few weeks all of the combined photo/canvas work will be recorded and up as well. Drop by any time…

Kastellet may be a pretty place for a Sunday walk in the fall, but it clearly was meant for defense. It held its ground against the Swedes in 1658 but fell against the English in 1807 and the Germans in 1940.

On the day I visited Kastellet, the old battlements of Copenhagen, they celbrated it’s 348’th birthday by dressing up.

If you walk on from the pier of the Royal Danish yacht you pass the Norwegian church and come to Kastellet, the resently renovated part of Copenhagen’s old defense. In the old days people would promanade on the battlement in their Sunday clothes. You can almost see it…

And here are the pavillions where the royal Danish family waits before boarding their yacht. Denmark is mostly islands so it’s easy to sail to places.

The elaborate lamp posts are the reward for anyone looking up while cruising the area of the royal family’s yacht.
