Thursday’s Special: Fall

For Paula, at Lost in Translation – my fall is an underground one. Maybe not that beautiful, but at least special…

This week Ben Huberman wants us to embrace chaos…so let us embrace the creatively  positive side of it. Here is an installation at Louisiana, Denmark, by Yayoi Kusama – the ” Polka Dot Lady ”.

SL-WEEK 2-01 : Selfie

You know I am no selfie fan…but , well, here it is. For Sylvain Landry.

The photo was taken at an outdoor exhibition in Denmark. It really is enough with only one me…I bet you are thinking the same…

Cee’s Black&White Photo Challenge: Candid Photo, People or Animals

For Cee this week – Denmark, Louisiana. More candid shots here.

 

SL-WEEK 38: Yellow

Yellow is a very special colour. It symbolizes a variety of things; for example the sun, being false (in the language of flowers) and power – only for the emperor of China.

I love yellow, but cannot wear it. Others can with elegance – like houses, vehicles and flowers.

Architecture and Giant Amazons

Den Blå Planet (The Blue Planet) opened in 2013 in Kastrup, a suburb of Copenhagen. It resembles a whirlpool when seen from above, and was designed by Danish architects  It covers a total of 12,000 m2 (130,000 sq ft), including the 10,000 m2 (110,000 sq ft) building and 2,000 m2 (22,000 sq ft) outdoors.

The Blue Planet contains about 7,000,000 litres (1,500,000 imp gal; 1,800,000 US gal) of water divided into 53 exhibits. In the first year of existence, the aquarium received approximately 1.3 million visitors – twice as many as expected.

Surely  man can never compete  with nature in architecture.

 

Colours From – The Blue Planet

Last week I went to The Blue Planet in Denmark, with Viveka, my blogging friend at myguiltypleasures. We go to Copenhagen at least once a year, and this time we wanted to try the new Aquarium – opened 2013 and the biggest in Europe.

A rather cold day…with only the occational drop of sunshine.

Inside – all BLUE…

…and more BLUE

A meeting place…for nature lovers, lovers of this Big Blue World.

 

We also met other mesmerizing creatures…
