Rebirth

A not so happy looking clown spotted at the International Parade at Aalborg Carnival 2018

This year I missed out on the annual biker gathering that UIvene MC arranges every year.
The last many years the gathering have been at Aalborg City Syd, but this year they moved it to the waterfront in the heart of Aalborg. I can’t say that I blame them. I suspect they will draw more spectators that way.
I was not aware of the change of location until the same day as the gathering, and were not able to go to the new location, which is a shame, as I usually get a lot of nice pictures of bikes and bikers.
So.. this is an older picture I’ve dug out as a replacement 🙂

Nighttime Parking

White stormtrooper armor goes well with shadows and a dark background 🙂

Meet Eddie, the newest member of my family.
He is a West Highland White Terrier and apparently one have two modes: Tired or Hyperspeed 🙂

In a small shipyard in Løgstør, I spotted this wonderful old toolbox.

This is a revisit of a picture I took some years back. I liked the original at the time, but later I felt it were a bit too flawed.
Luckily I were able to go back and try again. I worked a bit more on the symmetry and my position this time, to try to weed out some of the flaws I felt the original had.

Another LEGO Buildable setup..

These figures are really fun to use in lighting experiments.

A kind of alternative ending to the battle between Jango Fett and Obi Wan Kenobi on the planet Kamino in Attack of the Clones.

This is actually a picture I took four years ago, and one that I have kept trying to process to monochrome many time.
Finally I think I got it they way I wanted it.
I guess it is correct when they say that you are never done with your pictures, you just let them go… 🙂

Let’s go canoeing

Even though winter time is mostly dark, rainy and windy in my corner of the world, you can still explore the light (and the darkness).. You just have to look around…

One of the many cruise ships that visit Aalborg every year. A cruise ship like this is approximately as tall as the buildings in the central part of Aalborg.

I love it when I have the chance to take a walk through Aalborg when it is dark outside.
It totally changes the feeling of the streets..

Another photo from Aalborg Carnival 2017.
Without doubt she’s a lady…

From the annual Christmas fair in Aalborg. Every year the area known as Gammeltorv is transformed into a Christmas market, where people can come an soak up the Christmas spirit….
…or get a grilled hot dog.

Left In The Snow

Walking through the city, I found this Window, that has been signed, just as if Nattie created the window as a piece of art.

From one of my wife and daughter’s little creative sessions.

I spend a couple of days in Skåne, Sweden back in September, and went for a short walk near the small village Älabodarna near the small strip of water, Øresund, that separates Sweden and Denmark.

Back when I was a kid you would use to see cargo bikes like these all over the city. Now they are mostly all gone.
In Denmark these cargo bikes are called Long Johns. Don’t know if that is a danish thing or if this is a common name for it in the English speaking world as well.

Big meets small at Aalborg Carnival 2017

Bike detail captured at the annual Ulvene MC gathering in Aalborg City Syd, where hundreds of bikers meet to celebrate the beginning of a new season.

I went on a trip to Skagen this summer. From the top of the Grey Lighthouse there’s an amazing view. Here’s to the south, where you can see the city Skagen to the south.

Occasionally I return to the tool shed. Often there is nothing there but a mess, but then, from time to time, some of the items being used catches my eyes…
