On Copenhagen, Spring and the weekend

Hi All,
Finally a fresh duploworld update:)
Ohh I got so many news to share... almost too many... but I hope that some of you will actually make it to the bottom of this post:)
But well first things first... I spend a little less than a week in Copenhagen.
Copenhagen: Brick Wall
Copenhagen was, the usual irrellevant work stuff set aside, a true pleasure. Windy and grey yes, but compared to Nuuk it was darn close to being summerly:D
I had a great weekend down there, spend most of the time in the inner city on foot, have not done that in a while and it proved quite interesting. I rediscovered a lot of well known places, but the "Denmark 2008" gallery really is a lot more saying than I can ever be.
Copenhagen: The Huckster Pub
Set aside a stroll down "Vesterbro", the old "Red Light district" of Copenhagen, I think the by far most interesting place was the Legal Graffiti area located around the southern harbour.
Even though it is a legal graffiti area, it still has a sense of worn out, dirty and slightly "Dangerous" feel to it. A very interesting place photographically speaking.
The guys working their art here is truly talented and what I particularly enjoy is to see how beautiful this often looked down on artform can be when exercised in a legal environment.
One of the most interesting things I have done in a good while.
Copenhagen: Doorway
Being back in Greenland and seeing the calendar claiming it to be spring is simply something that does not fit reality very well. but as my seasonal albums follows the calendar I have opened up my "Greenland Spring Photos 2008" album.
THis weekend has been almost exclusively snowboarding for me and today I even brought my tiny red mini olympus with me up there, keep promising myself that I should bring my big camera, but I actually end up getting too carried away boarding when I am out there... it is one of the few things in life that I am actually equally passionate about, compared to photography.
A moderate -12C and occational snowbursts proved perfect conditions for boarding fast. the fact that we have had so much snow this year that we have been awarded with a new steeper slope only adds to the fun. That slope is meant for speed... ohh and a bit of airtime here and there:D
Simply too much fun:D It is actually necessary to walk a bit from the top lifts to get there, but it is definitely well worth the walk:D
Duplo getting ready
What else to tell... ohh yes... in just 14 days I am going on vacation for two full weeks, I am SOO much looking forward to it... one of the weeks will be spend at "Club La Santa" located on Lanzarote... the other week in Copenhagen.
Now i think that is it for now, I will bounce out and enjoy the witnerly Spring, not to mention Dinner, Miss Duplo just told me it is ready:)
Do take care you all:)
