Nature Day 2, Amager Beach 2014

Karin Ott

On this Sunday several local organisations were hosting a nature event by the beach. Yesterday’s image showed a young girl all eager to collect stones on the beach and talk about them afterwards. Reality was it was hard for me to find anyone to photograph at all as it had been pouring down all morning.

I had dragged my own daughter along but she was not about to go collect any stones. Instead one of the sweet volunteers showed her a game with stones even my mother played when she was a child.

I usually let images for my blog sit for up to six months but every once in a while I have created images for other uses, mostly my work for the local paper, that I want to share and is ready to be launched right away.

Here we go with a series of images taken at Amager Beach two weeks ago by request of the paper.

Skelgårdskirken 7, 2014

Now how often would you see a fully dressed bishop with four priests in tow strolling past CENTERBURGER? 🙂

The story here is the one I covered. The other images in this series were taken during my preparations for the anniversary and for my own enjoyment but the real objective was to cover the 25’th birthday of the church. To celebrate, the bishop had come and as the church is placed right next to a small mall the procession passed both a burger place and a parking lot.

Locals will recognize this image from the front page of the September issue of Tårnby Bladet (a wooping 21,000 copies).

David Collection 3, Copenhagen 2014

This is one of my personal favorites in the Islamic collection at the David Collection. I’ll tell you why tomorrow 🙂

Mr. David was a lawyer who left behind a substancial amount of money. Until his deathhe had mostly collected odds and ends from Europe. You will find a couple of beautiful paintings by Hammerhøj, but when the trust fund had a new man in charge he recognized the niche of an Islamic Collection. Since the 70’ies the fund has been buying up Islamic art and now have an amazing collection – all free of charge.
