Sunday Sailing

This Sunday Jonas invited us for a short sailing tour outside Höllviken. It turned out to be my first real sailing competition (which we did not win, by the way), and the first time the wind was so soft we could use the spinnaker, the largest, most colorful sail in the arsenal of sailors. Some pictures showing us on board and our companions in the sailing competition.

And some pics from copenhagen

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.

Dublin - bars and landscapes

One of my photo themes was the name plates of bars and pubs. They are full of imagination and color, as you can observe! The second series of pictures covers a trip taken by car towards a beach area on the margins of the city (forgot the name). Very exciting!

Dublin - people

Some pictures from Dublin. We stayed with Irina, Dan and their young daughter Sara. We took walks in and around the city, talked a lot and ate good food - including scones, my favorite English-inspired dish if you can call it so.

Trip to Paris

After I have submitted my first draft to the PhD Committee, it was time to relax. We took a short trip first to Dublin (pictures coming shortly) and then to Paris, in order to meet friends we have not seen in years.
Here are some impressions from the Paris trip.
