this was a pure tourist trip, i could see myself saying that i was in the danish capital and answering in the negative if i didn’t see the tourist site. i had photographed the churches and things quaint but until yesterday when i passed the sign “den lille havfrue” i hadn’t realised that i had missed something that no tourist should.
got down at østerport once again and headed north around the castle grounds, past a misplaced inukshuk - looked homeless by a park bench dropped a few kronor at its feet - to the little mermaid. making a snap would certainly prove that i was here more than wandering sydhavn and nørreport wouldn’t. i simply followed the digital cameras. heading up the hill to the station in hellerup didn’t think i could walk at all, heading to the mermaid - definitely felt my legs for the first time this trip.
was accustomed to waiting for a snap in less busy areas than this so watching the light dim i waited until the brain kicked in and i photographed the people photographing themselves in front of the statue. much better proved that i was here and saved face as a real artist.now that i was in tourist mode might was well walk down to the palace to make snaps of that straight line walking as the mauze and the late hour had dark descending quickly, around the corner to a shop in bredgade to better document a shoe sign walking quickly by the galleries i was in yesterday.
købmand shops were now the dominant light as i walked along nyhavn great light but too many people, made mental notes about to-morrow...light enough to photograph about 9am if i leave to be here at 9 precisely ... i’ll ask bent how long it takes to get to kastrup when i get back.
walk slowly make snaps while heading to the metro station stop at the theatre and make one more tourist snap scenic early evening.
back in hellerup, bent suggests that we head out to dinner at a indian restaurant up the road. he is sure that there is vegetarian fare there and it is my last night.
-we can walk.
