Fall 3, Copenhagen 2012
On this mild October morning I had an hour to spend on Christianshavn before the start of my mindfulness class. It was a grey day though no rain to threaten my camera. I don’t know where the idea came from to photograph what came after the lovely flowers, but I got so caught up I was almost late for class.
Fall 2, Copenhagen 2012
Two months earlier it looked like this:
Fall 1, Copenhagen 2012
Remember the gorgous hollyhocks from Christianshavn? Such as this one…
Well, they look a little different in late fall.
The interesting question to me is: How does this make you feel? My first reaction was a melancholic feeling of sadness. But try to look at it a little closer. Once I detached from the idea that flowers need to be colorfull and in bloom I began seeing this as truly beautiful. Less flashy, to be sure, but no less beautiful.
The Round Tower, Copenhagen 2012
The Round Tower (Rundetårn) in Copenhagen is 38.5 meters high and was built by King Christian IV between 1637 and 1642. It is unual in that there are no stairs inside but a spiral ramp that leads you to the top of the oldest functioning astronomy observatory in Europe.
