I was asked to take a photo of my daughter and her best friend. This shot is not what she asked for. There were others more to her liking, but it is by far my favorite.
Best friends forever

Sunset
Sunset, you’ve gotta have a sunset! My 11 year old son was shaking his head as I rambled in the car on the way back about not having my camera with me. Fortunately home and my camera bag was not far away and the house is three stories high. He was still shaking his head when I came back down with a happy smile.
Ørestad Syd
This sculpture stands to the building next to the 8 House in Ørestad. Driving towards it you see tall, modern buildings, but park the car and approach it from the other direction and it stands alone against the backdrop of the residential neightbourhood.
The rain began a few minutes after this shot and I ran in the cold wind back to the car with the camera covered by my jacket, being terrified that it would get wet. I’m still very careful about my camera 🙂
Something different
This link will take you to a YouTube video, playing “Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone” while showing a number of shots from my series Reflection – a beautiful surprise from Peter.
Stairs
I wish I could claim skill here, but the fact is I got lucky. Leaving Sankt Nikolaj Church behind I went to the art supply store on Strøget. It is on the second floor and as I walked back down I wondered what the stair looked like if I looked up. Oh my!
The combination of natural and artificial light just happened. I framed the shot, tweaked the buttons a bit to get more light than with auto focus and there you are…

Aren’t all those towers just fun? 🙂
Sankt Nikolaj Church 3, 2012
Still at Nikolaj Kirke – Copenhagen is called the City of Towers and traditionally we have always put copper on the roofs. Therefore we are a city of green towers – very recognizable.
Sankt Nikolaj Church 2, 2012
The first Sankt Nikolaj Church was built in the 13’th century. It’s the third oldest church in Copenhagen. Consider that… About 900 years old and there are two churches that are older!
Sankt Nikolaj Church 1, 2012
Saint Nikolaj Church lies in the very center of Copenhagen but just like another of the most central churches, Helligåndskirken, is no longer functions as one. Today it serves as an exhibition hall. It also houses a café with outdoor serving on a quiet, leafy square just of Strøget, the main shopping street.
I brought my camera with me on a day in the early fall when I was shopping for art supplies and had fun with the towers.
Christianshavn 14, 2012
This alley caught my eye purely by chance. I’m not even sure I could find it again. Apart from it being far too clean, this must be what streets often looked like in the old days.
