San Rafael 1, San Francisco 2013

This summer I was privilliged to visit a house in San Rafael with an amazing garden and an amazing view of the San Francisco Bay. Of course I brought my camera 🙂

One of my photo themes this summer during my stay in the US was to play with known landmarks being out of focus. Here’s an example. The background is Mount Tamalpais – the iconic landmark of Marin County, just north of the Golden Gate

Did I mention my son and I visited ‘Din nye ven’ to eat cakes? It’s one thing we have in common. We love cakes. This blond and blue eyed decendant of the vikings is 12 years old. You mostly see his strawberry blond sister in my pictures but that’s because only a delicious cake can make him look like this on film.

‘Din nye ven’ means Your New Friend. It is the name of a café in the center of Copenhagen I accidentially visited with my son earlier this year. Fortunately I had brought my camera as I loved the quant interior. This particular shot was chosen for my English business cards almost on the spur of the moment. I just like it, can’t tell you why.
