These weekends appear to be full of action or at least full of pictures. This posting of mine comes in bursts... Anyway, here are some typical views from Copenhagen: a park alley, the Tivoli amusement park, the Carlsberg (beer producer) elephant, several doors and, finally, some views from our evening promenade on the canals in Christianshavn, together with Mike.
This little bistro is slowly becoming my favorite place for tea in Copenhagen. It is called Thé à la menthe and its theme (both foodwise and decoration) is Moroccan, as its owner originally comes from there. I always get a kick out of the strong colors and always enjoy their selection of teas. What is better in the summer than a cup of mint tea?
This past weekend we took a little trip across the Öresund and visited the Modern Art Museum in Humblebäk, north of Copenhagen. They have a pretty good collection of European and North American modern pieces and a lovely sculpture park populated with works by Jean Arp and Henry Moore among others. The park also displays the beauty of the surrounding nature very well, as the following pictures will hopefully show. We were there with Hans and Adriana, and spent a whole afternoon walking about. The main exhibition was about Green Architecture, but it did not lend itself well to photography (and it was very technical) so no documentation of that section is included. It was a very interesting topic though, so more information is available here.
Identity is a multifaceted, changing concept, so what I put here today may be very different from how I would feel tomorrow... But let me see, what are the "universals" that can say something about me... Hmmm... I seem to remain eternally associated with the university life style, in one capacity or another... I appreciate humor, irony and wit... And I hope to possess at least in some small proportion the above mentioned qualities of the mind, checked by a good measure of self-criticism.
