Opening at "Bakken" ("The Hill" or "Valley")

On 29th March this fair called "Bakken" in Danish ("The Hill or Valley if you like) opened and always on the opening day as well closing day in the fall, about 3000-4000 motorcycles in all kind and shapes drive from centre of Copenhagen till "Bakken". The numbers of motorcycles can change due to weather. But this year it was perfect, the sun was out and it was a bit chilly,  The motorcycles started to drive from Copenhagen at 7pm and the first motorcycles arrived with the police in front about 7:30pm. It took another 2-3 hours before the last motorcycles arrived at "Bakken" and it counted around 3000 motorcycles at the parking lot. Even though I know of this event taking place every year, this was the first time for me to actually be there and see the motorcycles. There was a good mood and exciting in the air to see what kind of motorcycles would show up. But it was all between Harley Davidson, BMW, kawasaki, Ducarti and the like.... Take a look....  remember you can click on the first photo and it will show in full screen gallery :-)

"The Danish Girl" in Copenhagen, Denmark....

Image
So a long while back this year, the filming of the movie "The Danish Girl" took place in Copenhagen, Denmark and I found them filming in a very popular area. At a place called Nyhavn, where not only a lot of Danish people go to during summer time, but also a lot of turist will walk around this area. The only minus on those two days I watched and took photos from the filming was, it was rather cold and dull, yet a bit of sun would shine through. So a lot of respect not only for the crew, actors but also the extras providing as background for the actorts... It was really a treat to see a very large area of Nyhavn transformed into an older Copenhagen harbour as well the customes the extras wore. I was to be an extra in this movie but was not chosen, so I was happy to see the filming and take photos instead. I talked with some of the people who had their boats lined up for the movie at the harbour - the other boats which usually is there had been moved away and replaced with olde...

High Line - New York, 2013

Image
This is the last part of the train tracks which provided New York with food, which is now preserved and called "The High Line". You should allow yourself time to walk this place, specially doing spring/summer time, I can imagine it must be beautiful right now.... also this is another way of walking in New York above the streets..... there is even plenty of seats around the line, where you can sit down for a moment if you want to... or go up there before it closes and see the evening light.... You can read more about the project to preserve these last track here:  http://www.thehighline.org/ Here a few photos of my own....

"Forbrydelsen" / "The Killing" season 3, episode 7....

Image
So this past Sunday I was all set to watch the 7th episode of the Danish version of "The Killing" / "Forbrydelsen" season 3, episode 7. - Don't worry, no spoilers will be told here, so you can read if you like... The reason I was particularly interessted in this episode is, I was an extra back in April, 2012 where funny enough I was to be a photographer too. Now I can't tell much about what's happening in case you haven't seen it, however I can tell I didn't make that much camero moment in the scene, if you know where to look, you can see some of my camera and top of my head, however here you can see what it looked like from my point of view.... we were there for a few hours and the clip ended up being like 3-6 seconds long, so not that much of the scene were used in the episode. It was still interessting to be there as I haven't even seen the other seasons of the series. I can't wait to see the next episode the coming Sunday. Remembe...
