No inspiration – no photo.
I have an idea. Why don’t you go out and shoot a couple of photos yourself. Or find some materials and paint a nice picture. If you use the pc, you dont have to clean the brushes…

Christmas is time for treets. My wife gave me candy today. :-)
In the candy is a small picture. It is the city arms of Copenhagen.

The tower in the middle is a symbol for Absalons castle. He was the founder of the city. The two small towers are the towers from the city wall. The waves symbolises Øresund – the Sound between Denmark and Sweden.

Looking forward to this years Christmas concert.
The choir “Sokkelund Sangkor” will perform J.S.Bach: The Christmas Oratorio. I can hardly wait until the 17th.
The concert will be held in this beautiful church, Garnisons Church in the center of Copenhagen.

Soon it’ll be time for buying a tree for Christmas. Shall it be tall and reach for the ceiling – or small so there is plenty of space for dancing around it? Difficult questions…
No, the snow has not reached Copenhagen yet. This photo is from 2010 where we had snow from November.

When I was a child my mother learnt us a tradition. We had four candles and lit the first on the first sunday of advent, two on the next and so on.
My wife buys large candles, so we have all four of them lit all four sundays up to Christmas. As you see, they will probably not burn down before Christmas.

Just another wonderful day. The 3 girls with their family for an afternoon with relaxed life on the coach. Maj and Tone made these decorations for their rooms. Frida just toured the house smiling. Now she is tired Too tired…

I suppose you have heard of “kravlenisser”. Nisser that are everywhere. I caught a couple in the cellar trying to hide when I unexpectedly entered the room.
The painting was bought on the scouts’ flea market for almost nothing. The houses are from Gudhjem, Bornholm. Denmarks easternmost island. (except from some small rocks off its coast).

According to the calendar winter has begun. Someone forgot telling nature here. Please don’t!
The children have their calendars with 24 windows, each with a little picture of things related to Christmas.
We got this for counting the very few days until the Grande Finale from our daughter and daughter-in-law.
-The numbers are almost invisible, but the chocolate is: Delicious!

This sculpture is all the characters from a typewriter, which was one of Dan Turéll’s (1946-1993) many tools. The sculpture on “Dan Turélls Plads” was officially unveiled this week. Around it there is a bench for l o o o o o o n g talks.

Sorry, once I got a good advice from Scott: Try to show the scale!

One two, one two.

Most of the story is in the picture itself.
