Lo Østergaard, who owns The Royal Café, has decorated with an abundance of details. On the day I was there it was dark and dreary but inside the café the world took on a fairytale-like quality.

The Royal Café 1, Copenhagen 2013
The Royal Café lies right off Strøget, the main pedestrian street, tugged in next to Royal Copenhagen. Last week I had the privilege to stay as long as I wanted and shoot to my heart’s content. Over the next two weeks I’ll be sharing pictures from that session.
Christmas 1, 2012
I’m not done with our trip to Ireland yet – not by half. But Christmas shots are going to look too out of place too far into January. So I’ve decided to be merry and celebrate the holiday for a while here on my blog – enjoy!
What I love most of all about Christmas is the lights. Here in Denmark it turns dark at 4 p.m. now and the sun doesn’t rise until 8 a.m. Maybe that explains my affiniation for Christmas lights and it has been especially fun this year to photograph them. This shot is from Strøget – the main shopping / pedestrian street of Copenhagen. I’ve just returned from London and see that our puny decorations must suffer from low self esteem but it’s what we’ve got. There will be some shots from London later on as well.
Stairs
I wish I could claim skill here, but the fact is I got lucky. Leaving Sankt Nikolaj Church behind I went to the art supply store on Strøget. It is on the second floor and as I walked back down I wondered what the stair looked like if I looked up. Oh my!
The combination of natural and artificial light just happened. I framed the shot, tweaked the buttons a bit to get more light than with auto focus and there you are…
Sankt Nikolaj Church 2, 2012
The first Sankt Nikolaj Church was built in the 13’th century. It’s the third oldest church in Copenhagen. Consider that… About 900 years old and there are two churches that are older!
Sankt Nikolaj Church 1, 2012
Saint Nikolaj Church lies in the very center of Copenhagen but just like another of the most central churches, Helligåndskirken, is no longer functions as one. Today it serves as an exhibition hall. It also houses a café with outdoor serving on a quiet, leafy square just of Strøget, the main shopping street.
I brought my camera with me on a day in the early fall when I was shopping for art supplies and had fun with the towers.
