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

Copenhagen Medieval 2017

Last year I went to Copenhagen Medieval marked, where you can see vikings, knights and battles. I took some photos and have been slow in getting them done, due to new job. But here are some and more will be uploaded, as the Medieval will once again open up next weekend. So if you are near, have a look in there... (there is a price for the entry, then you can walk all over the place and look around.... even buy things people have handmade...) These photos are from the first day and I will post another 2 later on, with more photos from the event. Their homepage is here: http://kmm.dk/ Click on the photo to see them on screen and bigger...

"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....
