A Life Fantastic

Quietly rolling through the warm afternoon rays mixed with blue water and bright green tree crowns. Its a life fantastic to be enjoyed.


Happy Cycling!

One Evening at Saint George's Lake

Copenhagen weather was at its best this week. Here some shots with amazing backlight as the sun sets into Saint George's Lake (Sankt Jørgen's Sø) with cyclists and pedestrians passing by. Above: The last rays of red. Below: Ultimate Evening Elegance.




Strolling in the Sun.

Caught in the Rain? Pedal faster!

Okay weird August weather: if ya gonna rain, then commit! None of these odd spells where it's full on for five minutes and then dry for another twenty...you're catching out our Copenhageners! I mean what are we meant to wear? Geez...

This Copenhagen Rasta is keeping dry, for now...


Ah! The rains caught one!


Yes, getting wet's no fun...but cheer up, at least your mod-inspired outfit looks great!

Okay, so what if it begins to rain. Wear your favourite outfit and just work the 'wet-hair' look? Hmmm...nah, forget it. Bring that umbrella!

Over and Out!

Sporty Summer Chic

If you're one of those people who likes the idea of sprawling yourself out in the sun for hours on end but in practice gets bored and restless then you're a bit like me. I'm hopeless. Along with being half-British and half-Danish I'm like a doomed caucasian cocktail aka. tanning does not come easy! But no sweat - there's a way round it. Take up some new sports for the summer and the tanning hours will fly by. Of course, leave it up to the Copenhageners to show us how to keep it Sporty Chic.

Gym buddies.

Crisp white t-shirt and bright coloured shorts keep it summer cool.



Why stick to conventional gym gear? Go all out with t-shirt prints.

Here's Jonas and Maria setting off to cycle round the city. Great pair of sneakers Jonas!

For the active urbanists, which sports are you guys taking up this summer?

Pin Sharp

On a cold Easter afternoon at Copenhagen's lakes the cyclists were bathing in swaths of sun perfect for pin sharp pictures. Above, mystical dark black. Below, an energetic outburst of color.




Elegant saddle stride.



Enjoying the journey together.



Cystal clear blues.



Happy Cycling!

Bike n Skate

When the city's Lakes freeze over, Copenhageners gravitate to them. Our little family are no exception.


This guy was just spinning around in circles on his Christiania Bike for ages. Having a ball with his kid in the cargo box.




Getting to The Lakes by bike/trike is a given.




And that basket is perfect for storing your shoes whilst you're out on the ice.


Parking is rarely a problem.


Texting is no problem.


Bringing a friend is always a lovely idea.


And playing around is a requirement. Like running and sliding.


And it ain't no new-fangled thing, as this 1922 photo will attest.

Ice Kiss

They took their time with it. As well they should.

Fall Time Puddle

Spring

In spite of sudden snow yesterday, spring is undeniably in the air along with the promise of good times in Copenhagen. Only one thing is certain, though: the bicycle will always be a key accessory.
