Cars 22, Copenhagen 2013
On a completely random Sunday in August I happened to be at Amager Beach to see this line-up. Can you imagine my joy that I had brought my camera?

It’s a good thing I took enough images I consider worth while showing this summer. Because it’s blowing like crazy outside these days, freezing and there’s is no light. As far as I can recall I saw the sun through the clouds briefly four days ago. In thory a photographer can always find something to photograph but I’m finding it real hard this days…
At least I can recall summer, rhubarb icecream and vacation by working with images from a warmer season.

Don’t think I’m done with images from The Bay Area 🙂 But before I continue I want to take you on a trip in time and destination to look at cars.
My first model hangs out at Amager Beach by my favorite ice cream place. Not quite the drop dead looks you’ll see later but lots of personality.
Kastrup 4, 2013
I was fortunate to be given a tour of the part of the Kastrup Værk, BryggergĂĄrden, they were attempting to rent out. The craftmanship of what was not covered was amazing. The thickness of the lumber, the structure of the stone walls with the windows imbedded a foot deep… Unfortunately all I had a chance to photograph were two fast shots in an elevator so old you opened the door by pulling a rope.
This is the first of them.

Bryggergården is a whole complex of buildings. At first only bricks were produced here, then also beer. Now only the bar turned café is left plus several apartments. The place was completely renovated in 2008 and they have begun to offer parts of it for reasonable rent to creative projects. I hope they succeed.

I’ve shown images from Amager Beach before. This, in a way, is from the same area – built in 1749. More tomorrow…
Vacation notice with windmills
Okay, there’s just no way I can post regularly on this blog while on vacation so I’m giving official notice here that I’ll be back on-line with lots of more daily photos at the beginning of August.
In the meantime I wish you a wonderful summer with the shot of the windmills off the coast of Amager in the evening light.

Another shot from my new location on Amager. This is shot on the parking lot of the new aquarium in Copenhagen, The Blue Planet.

From “Signs of spring“:
The transition from darkness to light is marked by signs deeply ingrained in the natives. Every child knows the sequence of the flowers – eranthis, snowdrop, crocus – these milestones in measuring the progress. Every adult will stop and sniff the air through layers of winter clothes on the day of the undefinable turning point. And we all notice how the sun will finally both warm us to our chilled bones and mercilessly reveal the dirty windows and the dust piled up through the dark months.
Spring is a time of anticipation with summer still far enough in the future to promise to fulfil every dream we ever had.
