Rainbow


Today a bright raibow appeared. It ends – or starts in Vangede. A location slightly north of Copenhagen.
I pulled a little in the contrast to reach the impression it gave on the sky.

Bjørn Nimand


It was a beautiful day today. And a melancholy day.
We had to say goodbye to our dear friend through 45 years.
Bjørn took a wrong step and fell. Abruptly ending his life far too early. Today would have been Bjørns 59 years birthday.
His musical brothers, friends and colleagues, and especially the family, met in the chapel and made Bjørns farewell beautiful and touching.
Subsequent togetherness at his home with music and intimacy completed the ceremonies.
Bjørn is survived by his three brave women. His wife and two great daughters.
We honor your memory Bjørn.

Dragonfly

Summer days brings many of these elegant flyers. Direct translation of their Danish name is: “Gold Smith”, But I like the English name so much better. Dragonfly!
If any of you happen to know its name, I’d like to know.
I found a little trick for taking photos of this insect. Put a thin stick vertically in the ground and wait. They prefer sitting on the top of thin vertical branches. In this case I picked a bamboo about 3/8 inch thick 4 feet long. After less than a minute this one posed for me.

Scale in photography

My contrubution to Scott Thomas’ 14th assignment: “Showing Scale in Photography” – is this little fraction of a great moment.

This time I am the humble intermediary. The proud grandmother Käthe took the picture. Thanks for letting me use it.
