I’m sorry I’m not posting as I intend to at the moment. But here is the first image in a little series I shot on December 25. around the Danish town of Esbjerg by the North Sea.

Okay, last shot with richly structured evergreens on a blurry background. I promise. At least for now…
Front gardens 8, Esbjerg, Denmark 2012
Will you look at those shapes and layers of sage green?

I love the beauty of things less than perfect and blurry backgrounds…

Boxwood circle in garden in Esbjerg, Jylland, Denmark…

I don’t know why a choice was made to palnt boxwood in a semi-circle. At a distance it looks a bit odd but close-up it has a kind of magic to it.
Front gardens 3, Esbjerg, Denmark 2012
Okay, this is what happened. I went for a walk in Esbjerg North with my camera, wondering how I might make something fun and hopefully interesting out of the elaborate front gardens of this area. After a few test shots I found myself moving in closer – as often happens.
What I found when I did that surprised me. The gardens were beautiful!
Front gardens 1, Esbjerg, Denmark 2012
Let me introduce this new series: While I live in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, my mother-in-law lives in Esbjerg, a mere 3 hour drive away. But it is a drive straight across the country and more things than you’d think are different.
One of the differences is the love of front gardens in my MIL’s neighbourhood. I have to admit that Peter and I usually get a laugh out of looking at them, and during our Christmas break I decided to photograph these frontgardens. The result might surprise you as it did me.
Men at Sea II
Men at Sea, Esbjerg – I was happy with this picture as well. Two unknown people were kind enough to seat themselves next to the giants.
Men at Sea
Esbjerg on the west coast of Denmark hosts this amazing work of art – Mennesket ved havet or, in English, Men at Sea.
Determined to at least attempt to create a photograph to do them justice, I was disappointed to see the cloud cover on my way there. I didn’t know then that the sun would break through the clouds, high lighting the statues from the side. And how could I guess that a visitor would turn up in a yellow trench coat.
