i picked up my contax film today and found that allmost all the photos had traces of light leaks…hmmm don’t know what happened. some of them look nice and some just very red and weird. : ) here are one of the few photos without light leaks and one with a kind of pretty light leak. the top photo is taken in my parents back garden of a giant snow man/sculpture built by their neighbours. the sign on the barrel says GOLD.

funnily enough i still like the element of surprise when picking up a film - even though the film didn’t turn out well. you never know what to expect. more photos to come tomorrow!

thanks for the birthday wishes that still keep pouring in. you are so sweet!

photos from another walk in the neighbourhood and a sunday tea (or was it coffee??)…usually the danish winter is a lot milder than it has been this year. i guess that’s why i keep posting snow photos here - as we normally only have snow for a week or so and then it’s over.

hope you’ll have a great monday! i’m working from home today, enjoying a good cup of coffee and the quietness.

even more snow came tumbling down friday night making the streets quite chaotic. again NE was the photographer taking people photos. i have to get better at this! ida: maybe we should challenge eachother to do something about it : )

the old couple in the first photo we saw walking very slowly arm in arm down the street. i hope they made it home safely.

thanks for your comments everybody, i love to hear from you.

it started snowing heavily again tuesday afternoon so after work NE and i took a walk in the neighbourhood to look at all the splendour. the last photo is taken by NE, as i found it too embarrassing to photograph her. i really like the way it turned out!

have a great friday and weekend folks!

so the day has arrived, it’s officially christmas! i’m rice pudding responsible, hoping for a walk later and i have started on a small knitting project.

have a great christmas everybody and thanks for all your lovely comments and interest over the past year. it means a lot to me!

my mother took this

hello, hello! i have changed location as i’m spending christmas at my parents house. all day yesterday the snow was falling but i didn’t arrive until in the evening when it was already dark. today i was so eager to get outside and enjoy/photograph the beautiful snowy landscape. i brought my contax camera alongside my digital camera and it felt great to take film photos again, allthough i’m always a bit indecisive having two cameras to choose between. : )

thanks for all your sweet comments and happy holidays!

there’s only four days till christmas! when i came home late yesterday night from the cinema, NE and i took a small walk around our neighbourhood to enjoy the sight of falling snow. i took similar night snow photos last year

wishing you a great sunday!

- anna: yeah it is fun to wrap these things in pretty wrappings and conceal what’s inside.
- ne: det er hemmeligt : )

i can’t resist red moleskine diaries, it’s a fact. a couple of days ago i went christmas shopping and by coincidence spotted a bookshop that was selling moleskines. there’s always less red moleskines than black ones and therefore i convinced myself that it was a unique opportunity to get one in red (allthough i also got one just like it last year) and ended up buying one even though i had decided not to. silly, silly. photos are from a walk today in the nearby cemetery.

hope you’ll have a great friday!

the first day of snow! it’s freezing cold today and the streets are covered in snow. so beautiful. took these photos late last night from my window.

today and tomorrow are crucial days in relation to the UN climate conference taking place here in copenhagen and the possibilities of reaching an agreement. i really, really hope they will agree on an ambitious plan!

- nate: thanks for the article link nate! i haven’t read it before but found it very interesting reading. in general i like winter and the cosiness of this darker season but at times i miss the light - reading this article really reminded me of all the positive aspects of winter darkness.
- kristina: tak! jeg kan også godt lide første billede, hvor bøf har sin fulde opmærksomhed på den store hund. : )
- heodeza: thank you! i realized after posting the two photos that it looked anything but random - the color scheme of the photos being almost identical. hihi
- elisabelle: thanks elisabelle! funny how this november shot looks even more wintery than any photo i have taken in december : )
- a.: hey a. actually i didn’t know the name of this breed, but having looked up corgi i’m sure it is a corgi.
- nathalie: that sound great…i don’t know what fabric to go for yet..not sure if i should try out a pattern or “freestyle” : ) what are your plans?
- sekimachihato: they are the cutest dogs! i must admit that i’m a cat person as well though. i’m not sure i know how to describe the prenounciation of ‘bøf’ you can hear the prenounciation of ‘ø’ here i guess the ‘ø’ is prenounced almost like the ‘i’ in ‘bird’ said in a british accent. or perhaps you can compare the word ‘bøf’ to the french word ‘boeuf’
- maria: thank you maria!
- sandra: hey, glad you liked the dog post : )
- máni: thanks máni, you are so right, the house would be the perfect location for a fashion shoot
