On my way from photographing roof tops I came across this unintentional installation. First of all, I love the colours – the pink, green, and dark blue. Secondly my mind was challenged by the presence of bars. Seeing only this section, on what side of the bars are the roses – and thus us? Why are there bars? What are they keeping in – or out?
My last picture from Café Hovedtelegrafen. The large dome is the Marple Church. I think the smaller dome looks almost Halloween-ish with its triangular windows, emphasized by the triangle of the roof just below.
They say Copenhagen is the City of Towers. This is an assortment of towers I saw through my view finder from the Café at the Post and Tele Museum.
In Copenhagen we have a Post (mail) and Tele Museum. I haven’t actually seen the museum, but they have a café/restaurant on the top floor with a large deck and a view of the roof tops and towers of Copenhagen.
I suddenly remembered that one morning when I was contemplating where to go photographing that day. I believe anyone would be welcome, but my friend who waits tables there did ask me to come between 10-11 or 3-4 p.m. as it is really busy for lunch.
Above is the first of three pictures. I chose to post this because of the way the red roof tops weave in and out.
Here’s a another picture from Amager Beach (Amager Strand). The large bridge is the bridge from Denmark to Sweden. the two countries are that close! You can see Sweden from the beach unless it’s foggy. Copenhagen Airport is 1 mile down the beach which accounts for the plane.
I’ll probably have another go at this motive on a more clear day, but I like the combination of transportation options and the orange buoy.
The beach on Amager is just 1 mile from my house. On this day I found only few people eating ice cream. Instead I noticed the repeated pattern of the two benches and the red sign to the right in the background.
I aim to post pictures chronologically, and I’m not done with the pictures I took in the US. But I was suddenly left without my stash of pictures when it was time to post today. I picked this row of hats from Café Tranquebar in Borgergade in Copenhagen. It is one of my favorite places in the city – a combined book store, record store, fairtrade shop, and café. The hats were sitting at the top of a bookshelf in the black room, lit only by spotlights. My camera captured the magic of them in first try while still in auto mode.
