Amager Beach 3 – 2012

I posted some pictures taken at Amager Beach (Amager Strand) a while back. Today and tomorrow I have a couple more to show you – this time from when I took my daughter there for ice cream.

This particular place is my favorite along the beach. It’s called Strandtorvet, and you can get great ice cream from a 50’ies camper and eat it while lookin across Øresumd to Sweden or watch people ride Segways, play minigolf, lie on the sand, rollerskate or practice kiteboarding. If you want peace and quiet, just go on a weekday.

Yoga at Amager Beach 2, 2012

Loosen up, yoga studio, ayurvedic yoga massage, mindfulness, is just across the street from Amager Beach – very cool location. I hope the next time they have a yoga session by the beach the weather is kinder, and more people will come (the actual beach/sand is to the left in this picture).

Yoga at Amager Beach 1, 2012

A Monday in August I read on Facebook that Loosen up was giving a free yoga lesson down at the beach. Fie who runs Loosen up is a new friend of mine, and I thought about joining the crowd. But really, I would rather photograph the session so I contacted Fie to ask if it was okay for me to show up with my camera. I know, I know… public space, don’t have to ask permission, etc. – but I prefer to πŸ™‚

Happily the three people that showed up on that dark and windy day (yes, it’s summer in Denmark) didn’t mind me taking pictures. I have two of them to show you on the blog.

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.
