CPH. 2

On Sunday whe drove along the sea to the Museum of Modern Art in Louisiana. It is a beautiful space with a wonderful garden around it in which you can sit, feel the sea breeze, rest, look at the sea and just feel free after you've seen all the great art in the museum.

They had the "Louisiana Colour in Art" exhibition running which I quiet liked. The instillation Gleaming lights of the Souls by Yayoi Kusama was my personal favourite. You come into a small room not bigger than 8 sqm which is mirrored on all four sides, with a shallow pool of water on the floor. A changing constellation of small lights hanging from the ceiling produce an amazing chain of an endless seeming reflection. Magical.

After having a tea in their cafè we walked a long the sea, had an ice cream - and where thinking what we could make for dinner. : )

The weekend went by so fast and I had such a great time spending it with my dear friends.

It will take a bit until I will be in Copenhagen again...but I will come back for sure.

On my way to Hamburg on Monday I saw a dramatic sky the whole train ride long which couldn't decide to be bright or cloudy.

CPH. 1

#1&2: the sun was shining so brightly when I took the ferry on Friday night to Denmark. I was on the upper deck leaning against one of the walls there having the sun shining on my face...it made my day and was the best thing to start my little trip to Copenhagen

# 3&4: the illuminated kitchen at my dear friends place. I love her turquoise tiles in the kitchen.

# 5&6: the people in Copenhagen love biking.

# 7: We went to a great flea market in Frederiksberg. I got a couple of nice things like a striped jumper and wooden candle holders.

#8: Some brunch after a nice morning at the flea market

#9: We were walking around the city and I couldn't stop looking up...not just because of the great blue sky we had on Saturday but also because of the street lights I am really fond of and the houses themselves, oh Copenhagen, I have a crush on you

#10: hearts in Nørrebro

#11&12: more bikes and houses

#13: me sitting in the sun...

#14: preparing a lovely dinner. grilling veggies and fish outside in the garden, boiled potatoes and a fresh tomato salad

I had such a nice weekend....will show some more pictures of the last two days soon...

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend a lot too...

Thank you so much for all your nice comments lately, I am always so happy to read them.

weekend

My little bag is packed, my camera charged and I just can't wait to get on the train tonight which brings me to my dear friends who live in Copenhagen.

I am looking forward to this trip since weeks and it will be so good to see my friends and hang out with them, to cook, to go to the flea market and out for walks and hold the little baby boy one of my dear friends just got....

I love taking the train there. It takes 4.5 hours and I enjoy it so much. The landscape which is flying by, to enter the ferry and be on the boat for an hour, to read or just look outside and to finally get excited when the train gets into the central station and I see my friends waiting at the platform for me...it will be wonderful...

I wish you all a great weekend - what are you planning to do?

Polaroids

I was going through a bunch of polaroids and stumbled over those few I took in Australia in March. How crazy to imagine I will be there in a couple of weeks again.

There is so much to plan, think of and organize right now and it feels sometimes like being between two worlds ...

crossing things from my to-do-list and adding other things on it, selling stuff,

finding a flat in Sydney...arranging all sorts of other things...and also trying to see and hang out

with friends as much as possible before I go....

But I realize too, that sometimes you just can't plan everything and it is just maybe good to see how it goes...well, will see...

It is a nice quiet public holiday here...Which feels good to have in the middle of the week

The last week

I am back since a couple of days and feel a bit like someone beamed me back into my usual everyday life like nothing has happened...It is surprising when you see that the wheel of work does not change at all. I mean I know I have has just been away for three weeks but I still think it is weird when you realize how things you do, see, enjoy could change you within such a time...

I carry so many precious moments and memories in me that I think I will live for a while in my little bubble, still breathing the fresh sea breeze in my mind, going for a swim before breakfast, feeling the sun on my skin, just being around the person I love..

Thank you all so much for your nice comments on my posts during my time there. I was also so great to get comments from a few people from Australia who read my blog and I didn't know about yet...

Here are a few pictures from my last week.

Enjoying the wonderful light....

Catching up with lovely friends and spending the day at the beach

Making curry for a curry night

Picking up the teapots after their last burning, They turned out so great..I love them both

Having my first hot cross bun, which you eat for Easter there

Spending time

Eating the best fruits for breakfast....

Waiting...

The counting has an end

It has been a very sunny day today. And I just love when you go out the door in the morning, feel the sun and also see how much it can change everything...I guess we just had way too little sun this Winter which is why I appreciate every single minute of it.

But I was also pretty happy because my little countdown is coming to its end...

The clothes piles are ready, cameras and films are packed, the ipod filled with some good music and I am quiet excited about tomorrow when a plane and me in it, will take off flying to Australia.

I look so much forward to being there...not just to take pictures, enjoy the amazing blue skies and the sun, but most of all to see a certain person....

If anyone has some good tips for Melbourne or Sydney, I would love to read about your favourite places...

A 23h trip is waiting for me...and I should better get some sleep..

Good night

Maria
