A Photographic Journal
A member of the incredible noisy Croatian carnival crew The Grobnik Bellringers. These guys had oversized cow bells attached to their back and walked between the members of the crew and banged their cow bells together. Noisy, but fun to watch.

..from Aalborg Carnival 2016.
Stilts and inflated suits with built in LED lights gave these guys a really surreal look.

Another attempt at minimalism.
This time a clothespin on a line, taken with a shallow depth of view.
Once again I have visited the old tool shed. It is always messy in there, but the mess is what makes me bring my camera there in the first place.
A nice vintage looking helmet, spotted at the annual biker gathering at Aalborg Storcenter.
83 is of course the starting letters in Hells Angels. Never did see who rode the bike though 🙂
Once again The Wolfs MC Aalborg held their annual gathering and as usual a lot of nice bikes were to be seen. A shame they are not allowed to run their bike parade through town anymore though…
As if this old sign did not look worn out by the weather.. ..then someone came along and shot holes in it…
Nordkraft
An attempt to do something a little more abstract and minimalistic than I usually do.
A look up from the waterfront in Aalborg, where the old industrial areas are making way for new and expensive apartment buildings.
I don’t now what it is with people in Flensburg, but the seem to have some kind of pirate theme going…
A view from one of the small narrow streets leading from the harbour to the heart of Flensburg.
I never did find out why so many shoes were hung on wires across the streets in Flensburg.
I had a brief stop in Flensburg earlier this week and even though I were only there for a short while, I enjoyed taking pictures of a city that is quite different from the areas I usually take pictures of.
Taken i Hou, Denmark on a calm summers day. Everything seemed to have slowed to a stop…
After days of snow and heavy clouds, the sky finally turned blue again. It were -6 degrees Celsius outside and very beautiful. The fields where the sheeps stay in the summer were empty, so I thought I would see how the view were from the other side of the wires.
..oh and I also found out NOT to use the lens hood for the 24-105L.. it leaves some heavy vignetting on the pictures..
Railgun?
On of the small and easily overlooked streets in the center of Aalborg is Brettevillesgade. The large building at the end of the road is Nordkraft, a former powerplant located in the heart of Aalborg.
This cute little robin has been frequenting our bird feeder all winter. It has been extremely cautious and shy so it took a while to get a good shot of it.
This shot was taking at a distance of approximately 3 meters, while hiding behnd our kitchen window. The sun was setting as can be seen in the birds eye, and I think that made it hard for the Robin to spot me.
Another piece I found in Graffitilund (Karolinelund) in Aalborg. This one appears to have been made by Dato.

It’s a new year.
It’s time to make a fresh start and why not do it with full power?
For me, this is also kind of a new start as it is the first picture uploaded using my new full frame camera, an EOS 6D and also a new lens, the Canon 24-105mm f/4L IS.
Woke up one morning to find out that a thin layer of snow had covered the world.
Went for a walk. It was cold but beautiful and the snow dampened the sounds of the surrounding world waking up around me.
Balconies
Located outside the (fairly) new Musikkens Hus (The House of Music) in Aalborg.

Several years ago, when I were only a few years into my photographic journey, I took a picture under the railroad bridge crossing Limfjorden in Aalborg, Denmark.
At that time I were using the cheap but cool Nifty-Fifty (Canon 50mm f/1.8 II) on an EOS 1000D body. It was my first prime lens and it really taught me a lot, especially about the dangers of a too narrow depth of field, but also that 50mm on a APS-C sensor is way to tight for me.
Now, 4½ years later I decided to try again using my Sigma 30mm lens on my EOS 60D. Yup, still shooting crop 🙂
I like the new version a lot more than the original. It does not seem as closed as the original version.
Together alone
shallow and deep
holding our breath
paying death no heed
I’m still your friend
when you are in need
as is once will always be
earth and sky
moon and sea

Keep Out!
I took this in my garden on a foggy morning. The dew from the fog made the spider webs visible all over the garden.
While visiting Sæby, I saw this guy who is a local artist. His paintings are really beautiful.
