The CPH Icarus Bridge
« on: August 13, 2015, 13:46:15 »
Sten made me dig into my archives to find some photos of our Scavenger tour.
Whilst I was browsing through my external HD I stumbled upon some photos that I made a year earlier (2009) during my first visit to Erik in Copenhagen City :)
It's so nice to revisit old photos. The learning experience from looking at old photos is immense. You realize how much you didn't know then, how much more you know now, a reminder that you still have to continue learning, but also, you find some photos that you didn't like at the time, but for some strange reason are appealing now...

I was on the urge of making this one red, cannot explain what stopped me.

+1, anti-gravitation at play here, must have been a very calm day.

What a beautifully surreal scene!  Is this a view from a plane?

Forget about everything that stopped you, try the red version and share it!  Don't you think it's the time to free your mind?

I did make one Akira, but I have been posting a lot of red images lately.
Yes, it was from a plane approaching CPH airport.
Yes, it was a very calm day.
Thank you Erik, Øivind, and Akira for your nice comments!

Thanks, Jakov!  They should make a fine diptych.

I just tried to free my mind, but looking at my ass, it doesn't seem to follow :)

Try another in green, then mount the three of them together, one upside down. Just to see how it works (or not).

Very cool picture btw. :) I wonder why you didn't like it that much initially?

That is really cool. The red isn't working for me but I like Bjørn's idea.

Bjørn, let's not exaggerate :)

I don't know Smuse, I was probably not appreciating simplicity and minimalism at the time. Although I saw it from the plane window and I picked up my camera. Who know why I initially didn't pay too much attention to it. The important thing is that I do now :)

Thanks Jørgen and Andrew!

Yes Kopenhagen is a great place to be. I have been there in 1994 and I loved it. Took a lot of pictures too.
