A little manipulation has been used to make this photo look like it is. Take a look (in danish) at Fotosjov.

Isbåd

One more shot from Copenhagen harbour - it is a kind of an ice-boat!

Copenhagen Harbour

Yesterday we made a trip to Langelinie (Long Line - part of the harbour). It was cold, but not that cold because the sun was shining. I noticed the smoke in the background.

Rundetårn

This is Round Tower King Christian IV 1588-1648) in Copenhagen. The shot is from 1. flour in a flat in Skindergade. Notice two visitor at the top of Rundetårn.

Pas på!

Be careful!

Behåret stueplante

I don't the name of this plant in our window, but yesterday the sun was shining at it - as you see. I discovered the details when I shot this kind of macro.

Til kamp mod spild

I øjeblikket er opmærksomheden rettet mod de enorme ressourcer, der går tabt på grund af madspild. Denne plakat fra Nationalmuseet fortæller om den kamp mod spild der fandt sted i 1930erne. For nogle var kampen økonomisk afgørende.

In the 1930s it was import not to waste too much because some people could make a living of these items. The poster is about the fight against wasting what can be used. Today waste of food is discussed widely.

Don't spit at the pavement

At The Danish National Museum you find this fine sign.

Power Sale

Some times of the year things are "on sale". In danish it is "udsalg". Now "sale" is very often used instead. I don't see why this word should be better. May be it isn't enough - I have now seen "Power Sale". What do you think?

Common mussels or pælemuslinger

These mussels tasted better than the visual impression suggested.

Comforter-tree

At a walk at Køge Ås yesterday, I saw this tree. Children too old for comforters use the tree to say goodbye. How did your children do?

Slaget i Køge Bugt 4

The Queen waves her hand in Køge. You can learn to do the same by looking at her hand!



And you can learn to enter a car like Prince Henrik.

Today they are the happy grandparents to Frderik and Marys twins.

Slaget i Køge Bugt 3

A few more shots of the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the Battle in Køge Bugt follows. Iver Huitfeldt was the hero that day. His ship, Dannebroge, was the first of the unready danish navy's ships to fight against the attacking swedish fleet. His ship was burning, but he continued the battle and prohibited a fatal attack at the rest of the danish navy. His ship exploded and 550 danish seamen and 40 norwegian died. 7 saved their lives.

At the first shot you see the the wreath from Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik.



The Queen is arranging the wreath.



Prince Henrik in the mittle and the Queen.

Slaget i Køge Bugt 2

As mentioned yesterday, the Battle in Køge Bugt Oct. 4., 1710, was celebrated 300 years later. Many people was in Køge, waiting for the Queen and Prins Henrik. Some had excellent possibilities to see what happened, others not. It was not easy to take pictures without getting the heads of other people at the shot.



The Norwegian Navy was in Køge.



The Swedish too.



And - of course - the Danish.

Parti fra Køge

This shot is from October 4th., 2010, and I noticed this building in Køge on my way to the harbour.

That day the 300 years anniversary of the battle in Køge Bugt was celebrated. The next days I will put photos from that day on this blog.

Flower in Osttirol

I saw this flower in Gschlösstal in Osttirol, but I don't know its name. Do you?

After Christmas

Today everything is normal again inside - and the Christmastree ended outside. In this situation, I always think of the last drawing of Peters Jul, which I shot and show you beneath.



I got the book in 1950.
