Snow, snow, snow

I know this has been the theme for some time now. But this morning I woke to yet another heavy snow fall. Looks like someone will have trouble getting out on the bike.

Covered in snow... again

Last night another snow storm hit the city. This winter is one of the coldest I can recall. January 2010 has been the coldest for decades. But I like the snow and the frosty weather, though.

Sale in Illum

The sale is on right now in one of the big department stores in the city - Illum.

No trouble in the snow

This is what it looked like this morning. A snow storm yesterday covered the city with snow. But nothing can keep a biking or walking Copenhagener indoor.

Fresh snow

We got some fresh snow this morning.

Bring your bike

An outdoor ashtray used for advertising. Now you can bring your bike on the train for free when you have been out partying.

By the way - Google Street View has been launched in Denmark. So now you can take a walk through this lovely city without even being here. A good - and funny - place to begin you walk could be here - at Vestergade 12 in the city, where the camera has cauhgt a poor guy crashing on his bike.

Cold morning

On the bike on a cold morning.

Decorated van

Someone decorated this van. Let's hope it is the owner who did.

First time on the ice?

This little fella is getting ready to conquer the ice. I like the red hat his mum is wearing.

Ice hockey

An interim hockey field have been prepared on the lakes. It attracts large number of players.

More soccer training

Lights in the distance and more people dedicated to soccer training.

Bio dynamic soap

'Special bio soap for washing in soft water'. From the local laundromat.

Chatting at Lé Lé

Friends chatting at Lé Lé - a restaurant with a nice combination of Danish and Vietnamese couisine.

Ice skating on the lakes

The ice is safe! The city council have prepared this massive ice skating rink on Peblinge Sø (Peblinge Lake)

Soccer training

They must be very dedicated when training on a chilly day like today.

Best of 2009

I have gone through the photos that I have posted in 2009, and tried to pick out the best. There were 261 to pick between, and this one from Marmorkirken (The Marble Church) is great I think. And it was even one the very first ones up here. Also, this one from Kongens Have (Kings Garden) is lovely, because it is such a classic Copenhagen sight with the trendy people and their bikes.

Nevertheless, I decided on the one of the sunset and the twelve apostles (actually the Marble Church as well). It might be a bit clichee, but there is a reason that things become clichees. The photo appeared on this blog on December 2nd.

Back in town

There is always a special feeling about getting home. Visiting foreign places is a joy, but coming home is sweet.

Happy new year!
