Tivoli has different themes. I love the graphics of the Chinatown and remember stuffing lamps like this in my suitcase on a trip to London as a teenager. They hung in my room for years.

Lights are a central part of Tivoli. The main impression is still that of colored lights with old fashion light bulps. I still recall the favorite from my childhood – an old tree by the fountain with huge twinkling lights.

It’s not easy to find the time to look up when you are navigating Tivoli. There is almost always a large crowd, you often have kids in tow, there’s food, and noise, and rides, and strollers, and…
Still, it’s worth remembering to look up.

Tivoli Gardens opened on August 15, 1843. The name refers to Jardin de Tivoli in Paris. It was originally placed just outside the fortications of the city. Because the park is so old, the buildings are whimsical in the original way you only find in complexes that truly are old and don’t just pretend to be.

I love water – especially on photos where you can freeze it. It’s fluid, it’s solid, it moves continously, it can’t be moved…

The first asignement I presented to myself was to shoot water – here the fountains I remember so well from my childhood.

In Denmark we boast of hosting the two oldest amusement parks in the world. I guess the Danes knows how to have a good time 🙂
Tivoli is the second oldest and more of an amusement garden. You don’t just go there for the rides. You go there for the ambience. Unfortunately the prices are so steep by now that I hardly ever come there. Except for this afternoon in September with my children along.
As a rule mixing family and photographic ambitions is a bad idea. Everyone knows that patience is one of the greatest virtues in photography and mostly you just don’t have the time to be patient if you bring the family. But that is an exercise too and sometimes they stand in line or go on rides – at least in Tivoli.
I present to you – Tivoli Gardens 2012.

I was on my way from Café Tranquebar to Nyhavn when I glanced inside a restaurant and saw the mirrored column. I asked if it was okay to photograph it, and they told me I was lucky. It was due to be torn down the following week.

Sorry I didn’t post last night – had guests for dinner. But I’ll do two today! I keep by my commitment to post a picture a day, though at times it is an avarage.
I’m not going to tell you what this picture is. I’ll show you in the next post instead. Let me just say that I did not do any manipulation of the picture. I didn’t even crop it.

Nepal? Tibet? A temple?
What would be your guess?
Well, it’s none of the above – just a row of lovely bells hanging from the temporary scaffold outside Café Tranquebar in the middle of a busy street. The eye sees what the eye wants to see…
