Hi All

And welcome to the las duploworld update in 2008.
The family Christmas tree

Christmas has been wonderful, it has been amazing to be allowed to spend time with ym family again.
Now Christmas this year has been different than the years before, there were only seven of us, so only the very closest family was gethered.
Chritmas Girl

Above was probably one of the upsides of being back in Copenhagen, I have been spending a lot of time with miss Duplo, definitely not a bad thing. As you can see above I even talked her into letting me grab some photos of her bigsmile
No Seriously it has been amazing to spend some time with her again, so no complaints smile
Winter by the lake

Now weather in Denmark this Christmas has not been all that great. It has been humid and way too warm.
Hower a single day changed that completely. One day when I woke up it was foggy, temperature a touch below 0C and everything covered in frost. While it may not sound like it, it is actually near perfect photography weather I think. Above photo is just one example.
a Danish winter scene

To me it is all aout contrast and colour, I simply adore the slightly moody, subdued colours one finds in this kind of weather. Another thing I cannot help to like about such weather and the frost in particular is what it does to flowers, leaves and branches. this simly look amazing when covered by fine frozen crystals.
thus making the weather perfect for winter macro work.
frozen leaves

And with that I will shut down my laptop and return to the New Year celebrations around me smile
Happy New Year to all of you and do take care smile

On this night before Christmas...+2 weeks without internet...

Greetings Thomas. In life you will realise that the people you meet have a purpose. Some were put there to test you, some would use you, some would teach you, and some would bring out the better if not the best in you. Some may even cause you pain and heartache but one must learn to move on. So pray for the people who can't treat you right, and thank God for those who love you back and see your worth. Happy New Year to you and family. Best Regards. Léazz
