Rather exceptionally, this year my parents, my brother, his wife, and myself, managed to all take a week off at the same time, and choose to spend that together in Cervo in Italy. A very charming town, and fantastic food and weather made for a great week of holidays. Only problem was that it was a week or three too short!

As noted in the last post, I’ve just moved to Zürich to start a new job, and pretty much also a new life. Leaving Odense after almost 14 years wasn’t easy, but the last couple of months has had me enjoy as much of it as possible – and I also barely managed to squeeze in a trip to the very small island Drejø with my choir, the last weekend before leaving for Switzerland. A great trip, and some wonderful people – which I also got a couple of pictures of. Being in Zürich for a week now, I’ve had…

It’s winter! – which can mean that there’s snow in parts of Europe not all too far away from Denmark – so I jumped on a bus with a couple of friends, and headed for Canazei in the Italian Dolomites for a very nice week of skiing. The views are absolutely fabulous (at least when you’re not stuck inside a cloud), but as I deemed carrying around several kilos of camera equipment slightly detrimental to my skiing abilities, I only got around to bringing the camera onto the slopes two of the eight days – and those days didn’t have…

The last month has had me traveling quite a bit for work – Ireland, France and the US. On the last trip, we had a six-hour layover in Chicago on our way back, so instead of just sitting around in the airport, my colleague and I headed into the city to have a look around – main thing we discovered: a couple of hours is not nearly enough! – and I should have brought my tripod too, instead of stuffing it in my checked luggage…

My work sometimes brings me outside Denmark – and on some of these occasions it’s possible for me to squeeze in a bit of leisure too. This time around I had to do a bit of work in France in the beginning of the week, so I departed from Denmark early, and got to spend the weekend in Paris – including enjoying the lovely autumn colors, seeing the Louvre (or well, part of it – and I thought the Met was huge!…), climbing to the top of the Notre Dame, experiencing a violin concert in the Sainte Chapelle, and eating…

Autumn has arrived in Denmark – the sky is gray, the weather is wet, and it’s dark before 8 in the evening. So – a good time to reminisce a bit on some of the things I did over the past three months, and to try to clear up my Lightroom backlog a bit. (Oh, and in some of the cases I’ve experimented a bit with the post-processing, so some of the pictures may be a bit more funky than usual…)

During my well-deserved summer holiday, I had a week without any plans – and instead of spending it sitting inside back home, hoping for the Danish summer weather to show itself from a slightly better side than it had done for the first part of the summer, I semi-spontaneously decided on booking a trip to Munich. I’d been there for five days when I was exhibiting at Automatica back in 2010, but at that time I didn’t really get to see much of the city, apart from the Munich Congress Center and a couple of restaurants. So – I thought…

For some reason I never got around to posting a few pictures of some pretty nice street art in Tel Aviv, that I spotted (pretty hard not to ;) ) during the Israel-tour with the Cornerstone gospel choir last fall. But, better late than never – here we go :)

Last week I had to spend a few days in Texas for work – and managed to put in a weekend in New York on my way back. First time I’ve been to the States, and I did have a great time – although my legs were getting a bit tired after spending more than two days sightseeing a fraction of the stuff that NYC has to offer. The High Line, Times Square, Central Park, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Brooklyn Bridge, the Top of The Rock, jazz at Lincoln Center and a quick peek into B&H Photo were just…
