Not My Usual Prisma Filter

… but I’ll give it a shot, just this once.

The human family: Man, woman and child.
Stairway to heaven at Nørrebro railway 🚃 station and walking a dog
Skeleton in the closet, Copenhagen Round Tower and the beautiful door of a photo shop in downtown Copenhagen
The Danish king wanted to know what his far-off subjects in Norway looked like so he sent an emissary to the far north to whittle figures of the brides, the grooms, the priest, the fishermen, the millers and all types of ordinary people. The figures were used as the inspiration for these larger-than-life statues now displayed in Kongernes Lapidarium.
The room is packed with these eerily lifelike figures with their true-to-life costume details. Centre, a vomiting serpent and right a sailing ship.
Pigeon and swans in the city
Left, a southern island, centre, a peregrine falcon and right, a lighthouse
In gaol, a brass doorknob and right, a georgian entrance with tiles in blue that match the door color.
Left, pisces, centre, rook with the pajamas-style feathering on the legs and right, a boy looks out to sea from a clifftop perch.
Left, a beloved sheepdog and right, plums, avocadoes, kiwis … season of mists and mellow fruitfulness
Peaches and teapot and a hot dinner
A lighthouse and a bicycle.
A seagull and two handsome young men visiting from Sardinia.
The moon and some vintage books from Grandad.
Roses, Indian after-dinner candies and the piano
Postboxes and my breakfast
Copenhagen Cooking Week with delicious vegetables on display, a mushroom and some red autumn apples.
A sandy beach. This is me.
The end of this very shaggy-dog “story”.

Thanks for reading.
