This preserved complex, originally from 1749, lies at the end of Amager Beach past the marina and the new aquarium, The Blue Planet. Since 1838 it has housed a bar, now a café. And it’s just a stone’s throw from Copenhagen Airport.
I’ve shown images from Amager Beach before. This, in a way, is from the same area – built in 1749. More tomorrow…
“Pull up a chair”
While I won’t be hanging on the wall in the upcoming exhibition at PhotoPlace Gallery, Middlebury, Vermont, “Transformations – The Ordinary Made Extraordinary”, I did make it to the on-line annex and the catalogue with the above image from my series Invisible.
API is short for Art Photo Index. It is a “searchable, visual database of selected photographers and photo-based artists from throughout the world.” I am honored to have been invited to join, especially when I view the work of the amazingly talented artists represented. If you have time to kill, it won’t be wasted browsing websites found at API.
The last image from Amagerbrogade 132 this time around. I’ll be back with images from the rebuilding – still daring myself to find the less than obvious.
One of the challenges I gave myself when I began this project of following the building was to keep making shots I found interesting. It got increasingly difficult as there was less and less left. But here’s yet another image.
Another look at what was originally the inside of the building.
Ahh, I found a soul mate for the single nail posted in the spring. This is what comes of being a Highly Sensitive Person. You see the tiny details whether you want it or not, but with a camera in hand it’s fun.
I love how the old facade was exposed when they tore down the latest store signs.
The original wall – what was left of it.
Remember the images from inside the building of peace and beauty even though it was about to be dismanteled? Well, this is what was left the last time I came to visit this summer – a layer of bricks as the outer walls and a hole in the middle.
