CHAIRS

Long before Clint Eastwood made the empty chair a household word with comical connotations, they have been catching my eye. In arrays, different states of repair and odd locations; empty chairs invite the imagination on a journey.



On a street in lower Manhattan, I especially like that the partners are separated.

A motley grouping outside a bar in the Nørrebro area of Copenhagen.

As the daughter of a pharmacist in the days of the corner drugstore, I find this
both familiar and nostalgic.

A variation on that theme...

Colorful Copenhagen

This is just so inviting...

OCTOBER

October is the time of year when I want to slow time down and savor each moment. I love the smells, the blue of the sky, needing a sweater in the morning, walking barefoot on the beach one last time and of course the singing colors as Mother nature transitions into winter.

More from COPENHAGEN

No theme here, just things that caught my eye or made me think.....

The bike lanes have their own traffic signals.

Danish shoes left outside the boat.

The juxtaposition of old and new architecture is fascinating, this is the Royal Library.

I like how this building(Royal Library) reflects and distorts the 18th century architecture.

Bright colors of the bridge against the dark sky

Part of a short cut in the University area of town

The fence surrounding Free Christiania, the steeple is Our Saviors Church in Christianhavn.

COPENHAGEN~BICYCLES & STREET ART p.5

I always shoot bikes and I love good street art. As I was going through my photos I found that I had married the two.

Had a kaffe in a great little place across the street from this mural in Nørrebro.

Saw this in another up and coming neighborhood, Vestebro.
Possibly my favorite area of Copenhagen and home to our favorite bar and craft brewery Mikkeller's.

Gateway to Free Christiana
In 1971, the Danish defence ministry closed its huge 18th-century fortress and left it to rot. Locals first tore down the fences to create a playground for their kids and were then joined by squatters and alternative characters of every kind. They took over the place and founded Christiania; a democratic and autonomous free city that would make its own laws and raise its own taxes. The Social Democratic government of the time declared it a "social experiment" and allowed it to continue.

There is a reason Copenhagen has clean streets!

This bike is just so pretty.

Drama is an art form, pretty sure you can fill in the story line. Mind you, it was about 50°F

There is way to much tagging in Copenhagen and usually it doesn't move me but I like the contrast here.
