Did I mention Galway sits almost at the edge of the (once known) world? I noticed one afternoon through the kitchen window of the apartment how the sun was turning a part of the sea a bright silver. I rushed out on the deck, 4 floors up, with my camera. I didn’t quite manage to catch the silver but the view was impressive none the less.
Galway is very much a part of the surrounding water. You can’t go far without meeting the water of the sheltered bay or rivers running down to meet it. We’re close to the end of the once known world here, and at times that feeling is tangible.
The water between Denmark and Sweden is very shallow. This is the reason for the construction to the right. It’s a pier for jumping in the water and for tanning out of the wind. The construction is a pretty amazing piece of architecture and I need to go back one day with my camera and spend some time.
It wasn’t really fall just yet, but it wasn’t summer anymore. Perhaps you can tell by the light.
Another shot from my ‘back yard’, Amager Beach.You just might be able to make out Sweden across the water.
I’m sorry about my resent instability. My goal is to post one picture a day – and do it every day. This time my excuse is related to photos. I’ve spent all day yesterday working on my latest website, and I’m pretty darn proud that I shot all the pictures that I use for the design.
I decided to go with the theme of water. I also locked myself into using a black/white/red color scheme. Finally the water had to surround the island, I live on.
The pictures don’t look their best yet. I used the ‘kindergarten’ tools – color conversion on my Nikon and fine tuning with Picasa. In time they’ll get top notch Photoshop treatment. But if you want to see the result so far it’s here: http://www.karinott.dk (the content is in Danish so don’t expect to understand it :-))
