A last look at Peberholmen. I found it interesting that it was possible to spend several hours on an island 4 km. long and a few hundred meters wide.

I’ll admit – I didn’t have the courage to clim up on the rocks. I could probably have gotten up but I don’t think I would have gotten back down. Judging from the photographic activity, the view of the bridge from there was great. On the other hand, I wouldn’t have taken this image if I had climbed up together with everyone else.

The fun part about being on a press tour is that sometimes the photographers themselves create the best motives.

View from the northern point of Peberholmen, right were the freeway coming up from the tunnel turns into a bridge.

The boulders around the 4 kilometer long artificial island were placed to keep the soil in place. In the background you also see the bridge between Sweden and Denmark. The first part of the connection from Denmark is a tunnel. The road comes up into the open and continue over the bridge on Peberholmen.

This pretty flower is very rare. It’s of the orchid family. Everything on Peberholmen has been brought there by coincidence. 15 years ago it was barren.

Our guide on the trip to the artificial island in the Sound between Sweden and Denmark joked that for some reason only the blue and yellow flowers thrive, no red or white flowers (check the colour of the flags…)

I’m going to take a short break from the Holga images. I will be back but even though I love the look, sometimes you need a break from the break 🙂
I’m going to share with you a short series of images from a small artificial island, Peberholmen. It lies in the water between Sweden and Denmark and was created from mud from the bottom of the sea 15 years ago in connection with building the bridge between Denmark and Sweden. Stopping on the island is not a choice but recently I was able to go a tour of Peberholmen.
Amager Beach 2 – 2012
Here’s a another picture from Amager Beach (Amager Strand). The large bridge is the bridge from Denmark to Sweden. the two countries are that close! You can see Sweden from the beach unless it’s foggy. Copenhagen Airport is 1 mile down the beach which accounts for the plane.
I’ll probably have another go at this motive on a more clear day, but I like the combination of transportation options and the orange buoy.
