The battle scarred elephant is not alone. The cheerful bear keeps him company, but how has he managed to escape so unscathed?

Ingolfs Kaffebar 1 – 2012
To me there is a sinister quality to this portrait of a worn down carrusel elephant. How can it still be smiling when it is so battered? What has it got to smile about? Can we detect smugness as well? And how exactly did it get those scars?
Amager Beach 4 – 2012
As a rare treat you get two for one this time. I couldn’t decide which one to use but the photoes are too alike to warrent separate posts. Juping down was my daughter’s idea after a while of climbing up and down the wall while I was photographing. In the distance you can just make out a tall white structure to the right – that is Turning Torso in Malmø, Sweden.
Halvandet – 2012
As I’m listing the photos chronologically here comes a glimpes of Halvandet on a sunny day. I caught my daughter while she busy getting to her next hide-and-seek spot.

The 8 Number lies at the Southern most end of Ørestaden – a new city district being built on Amager, a few kilometers from the center of Copenhagen. The complex overlooks Vestamager – a nature reserve. What you see in the picture is the café and the view of Vestamager. A row of artifical lakes have been established at the edge of Ørestaden.
Bonusinfo: In the summer cows from other parts of Denmark spend the summer on Vestamager to keep the grass down.
Halvandet 5, Copenhagen 2012
A few rays of sun broke through the looming rain clouds.
Behind the cruise ship in the background is Langelinie, home of The Little Mermaid – and she really is small. Or dainty. From Halvandet you can also see The Marble Church, catch a glimpse of Amalienborg and sometimes of the royal yacht.

I’m a sucker for patterns – repetitions, graphic lines, you name it… This is another of the shots from Halvandet I decided to keep. Again, this wouldn’t be half as intriguing to me if the sun had been shining and the deck chairs had been full of people. Opporsites calls to the imagination.

Halvandet is located on Amager, the island I live on. But you have to know it’s there… Way out at the farthest end of a run down industrial area.

Fancy lounging on a sun bed? There’s even a cruise ship in the background.
Halvandet 1, Copenhagen 2012
When I visited Halvandet a day in August the rain was pouring down as I drove there and I had to wait in the car for the rain to stop. The wind was fierce and this being an outdoor bar there were no customers there. A couple of days later, when the weather had cleared and the place was filled with people lounging in the sun, I returned – but the pictures I took on the windy and cloudy day were so much more interesting.
