Duplo's blog

Hi All,

And welcome to another duploworld update, a long awaited one (at least i hope so:))

Now why Denmark you might ask, "and was he not talking about Lanzarote and some stuff last time he wrote?"

Well yes I was and I will come to that, but as there is quite a few people in some of the photos, then I am awaiting approval to publish some of them, well Miss Duplo has obviously approved, but that aside i prefer if people approve before I publish anything.That is why you have to wait a bit before getting to see the photos.
Luckily I have had both a couple of days before and after the lanzarote trip and a week more in Copenhagen, from which I have just returned.
Gammel Højerup Kirke

Above is from a brief early evening stop near Stevns Klint. A limestone cliff beach that is slowly eaten by the sea, The same goes for the old church now actually hanging over the edge of the cliff, quite a beautiful sight. Being there in the early evening sun, definitely made things better too:)

Now what else has happened in Copenhagen? well this Saturday my younger sister returned from a 3 month stay in Australia. I surprised her in the airport Saturday evening when she arrived and seeing her again and hearing how much she has experienced down there was simply amazing. I spend more or less the entire sunday with her. It was simply a blast spending time with her again and hear about all the stuff she has seen and done over the last 3 month. Ohh and this grabshot during lunch at a café turned out quite well too I think.

Sunday was also the day where my brother did a 21.1km run, it was an official prep run for the Copenhagen marathon and for him the target of a running challenge. He finished in 1 hour and 48 minutes, it is fair to say that I am rather proud of him.
Now April really means that spring is slowly picking up speed in Copenhagen. I spend an hour one afternoon just watching the beach and enjoyed the early signs of spring.
first sign of spring?

Another place that can be truly beautiful around spring is a place just North of Copenhagen called "Dyrehaven". Translated directly it means "Animal Garden", it is a large forest area with deers and a multitude of other animals. I went there with my father one late afternoon, just to have a pleasant walk and to squeeze off a few shots.
I used to live just 10 minutes away when I lived in Copenhagen and it was wonderful being back in a forest again, as you know we barely have any vegetation up here and sometimes I actually miss having trees around, they make for some very interesting light I think.

Now I think this makes for a decent update... I still have a lot of things to tell about Lanzarote and what we did down there. Hopefully this weekend will give me the time to update you all on it.
I also have a number of changes planned for my posting patterns on this blog, It seems that after a good while of less frequent updates, I have an urge to turn it into a more regular thing. I think this blogspace will turn interesting over the next couple of months.
Lastely a photo to round up this Duploworld update. It is nothing special and has a couple of flaws from a technical point of view. It is however a fine statement of how a couple of Speedlights can make a livingroom in broad daylight turn into something completely different.

Now there is a number of additional photos in the "Denmark 2008" gallery and I think they are worh a look:)
My Gallerypage has received an update too, any comments on both the photo selection an gallery selection would be highly appreciated.
