Dark Skies over Bright Sun

Heavy winter clouds and a low hanging sun made for some great Cycle Chic pictures this week. Here a mix of some of Copenhagen's best rides in clear colors and sharp contrast. Above; color coded. Below; elegant stride.




Sparkling blue eyes matched by deep blue coat.



Flowering hair and fuzzy jacket.



Woolly warmth.



Happy Cycling!

Tuesday Evening

The snow was not so bad, but those facing the wind really had to put those eyelashes to work. Unless equipped with a suitable hat.



Oh, and hello all btw. I have not been shooting bicycles for a long time, and I don´t see that changing. I do however have a weak spot for snowy streets, so perhaps...

Red Halo

Backlit by the red traffic light, this lady passes by the exact spot where Mikael opens the excellent little film featured in the previous post.

Snowflakealicious

Ooh, I just made up a "Mikaelism" ;-)
Anyway, I like the way that these ladies are keeping spririts high in conditions that could be viewed as demanding. I am likely to say that it is a feature of scandinavians. I know that in many sports, we tend to have an advantage in really bad weather. Perhaps because our normal weather is the other guys terrible weather, hehe.

...and Dark Too!

After I have turned into a sparetime-photographer-wannabe, I have gotten painfully aware of the seasonal scarcity of light. It is (very) challenging to shoot in the dark, but quite fun though.

(Yes, these are from just before the snowfall.)

Going Home

I have to say I am enjoying the night shooting too. The absence of sun makes daylight quite dull in comparison to the partly illuminated night. Or more correctly: The dark part of the day (sun down at 15:55).
