鴨川? 高野川?

I don’t remember if this is the Kamo or Takano River. What I do remember is that cloud scared me a bit as I was on a bike and far from home. Thunder, lightning, and heavy rain started soon after this photo. I took refuge in the nearby Demachi Masugata Shotengai. This photo happened three years and two days ago.

I visited Dragør in 2016 for the second time. The weather was fantastic, and my love for this little town grew. More photos to come.

After five weeks in Copenhagen, I depart for London tomorrow. I’m sad to leave. Those were some fun weeks despite mediocre weather most of the time. Maybe I’ll be back next summer.

Today’s photo is of a new pedestrian and bike bridge in Copenhagen that links Nyhavn with Christianshavn. The bridge is a draw bridge and is nicknamed “the kissing bridge” for the way it connects back up. In the background is the Copenhagen Opera House. We rented a boat for a couple hours through friendships.dk from which I took this picture.

The typical shot of Nyhavn has been done a billion times. And why not? It’s a pretty one. But I’ve done that photo several times over so I went for something a little different here with this 6-photo photomerge. The tourists were numerous on this day so I had to a wait a while to get a foreground that was this free of walking people.

Copenhell in the rain

@COPENHELL @RealAliceCooper @solstafiroffcal

Day 1 at Copenhell VII (AKA Copenhell 2016) is in the books. Day 2 begins in a few hours. Today’s lineup is a good one. I’m really looking forward to Solstafir. Amon Amarth, Megadeth, Epica, Kadavar, King Diamond, Abbath, and Artillery are also on today’s bill. I haven’t seen King Diamond since the 1980s. Unfortunately, Abbath’s and Artillery’s sets overlap so I won’t be able to see all of them both.

Day 1 was lots of fun until things got wet, very wet. The lightning was impressive. My bike ride home was filled with it too. I wanted to see With The Dead, but I was soaked and headed home for a warm bath instead. Alice Cooper’s set was my favorite of the day.
