Happy New Year on this 2nd day of 2013....

The daily routine is back for most of you, as some of you know I am looking for a job and now have one year left of my unemployment benefit (we have 2 years of unemployment benefit here in Denmark), which means this year is rather a "touch and go" for me, as after 31st of December 2013, let's just say I won't start thinking about it just yet. So todays photos are both from today's walk as well a few from last week between Christmas and New years Eve. 

As said I'm unemployed and thus some would say I have waayy plenty time on my hands, but trust me I'd rather work. It takes a lot of energy not focusing on what I can't do and have to push away for now, when I see news, tidbits from friends, don't get me wrong I love to see and hear what happens around me, it reminds me there is life out there and it is just not all about crisis, jobcenter/ union control, no job etc etc, you get my drift....


So my photos tody is a reminder for me about life out there and the time I have to use as best I can, both to get a job and not fall apart admist it all....

Still a bit of ice on lake late afternoon, December 26th 2012

The roads can be bumpy with some light/good times in between... December 28th 2012

"Snowed in bench", reminded me not to be closed in at home too much.... December 28th 2012

"Bird nest" lately there are lots of news of new arrival of babies..... December 28th 2012

To this last photo which I saw on my walk today in the late afternoon as the sun was setting behind me, it reminded me of a poem I've read way back - like half a lifetime ago'ish - and I feel it is fitting for this photo... the poem is by Robert Frost and called "Nothing gold can stay":

"Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold,
Her early leaf's a flower,
But only so an hour.

 Then leaf subsides to leaf,
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day,
Nothing gold can stay"

"Nothing gold can stay"..... January 2nd 2013

"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...
