Copenhagen 2, 2012
Same place as the previous shot and a completely different colouring. More suited, perhaps, to the debths of winter.
Copenhagen 1, 2012
Last year I posted shots of the Christmas lights in Copenhagen. They weren’t the only pictures I took that evening and now the time has come to show the rest of them.
The reason why people would ever consider sitting outside in the winter is that you can’t smoke inside.
Reflections, Copenhagen 2012
I’m a sucker for reflections. This was taken in December at my local café, Ingolfs Kaffebar on Amager. Cafés in Denmark are “hyggelige” – a Danish word without a proper translation, indicating something really nice, making you feel comfortable.

As I was working my way around The Royal Café, the waiter came with a plate of smushis (the owner’s invention of combining ‘smørrebrød’ with sushi). “Where would you like them?” he asked. “Øhh?” I answered.
The explanation was that I was there to photograph so here were smushis ready to be photographed. I looked at them for a bit and saw the attention to the work and the amazing details. I tried for some makro shots at first, then had an idea. What about shooting portraits of them? Above is the first shot in the series that evolved. The rest are in my portfolio. I give you – The Class of 2013!

This is my favorite shot from The Royal Café – surreal, magical. “Look mom, no hands!”

I love graphic lines – here the distinct shape of the charming coffee cups, the hand painted flowers and the blurry background of the metallic tea pots. And the taste of the coffee matches the tasteful surroundings at The Royal Café…

This is the cake I had. Sooooo good! Lemon, and white chocolate, and, and… Sorry, gotta stop. No drooling at the keyboard. I need to go back there.

Getting hungry? A traditional Danish cake for afternoon enjoyment. As everyone will know pastries are a.m. and cream cakes are p.m. Here served at The Royal Café.
The Royal Café 10, Copenhagen 2013
I have no idea why these fish were hanging on the handle of a cabinet behind the counter – just one of the charms of The Royal Café.
