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.

Halvandet 2, Copenhagen 2012
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.

Allow me to post a second photo from my favorite coffee place in Copenhagen, keeping the hats company.

After I had photographed the roof tops and pondered on roses and bars, it was time for a break. The open door and the black framing caught my eye – as did the way the mirror image showed something different than what I could see from my bar stool.
Grønnegade, Copenhagen – 2012
On my way from photographing roof tops I came across this unintentional installation. First of all, I love the colours – the pink, green, and dark blue. Secondly my mind was challenged by the presence of bars. Seeing only this section, on what side of the bars are the roses – and thus us? Why are there bars? What are they keeping in – or out?

They say Copenhagen is the City of Towers. This is an assortment of towers I saw through my view finder from the Café at the Post and Tele Museum.
Roof tops 1, Copenhagen – 2012
In Copenhagen we have a Post (mail) and Tele Museum. I haven’t actually seen the museum, but they have a café/restaurant on the top floor with a large deck and a view of the roof tops and towers of Copenhagen.
I suddenly remembered that one morning when I was contemplating where to go photographing that day. I believe anyone would be welcome, but my friend who waits tables there did ask me to come between 10-11 or 3-4 p.m. as it is really busy for lunch.
Above is the first of three pictures. I chose to post this because of the way the red roof tops weave in and out.
