And now for something completely different...

The last couple of months has not just been about spring, a lot of other motives went past my lens, so for the next few weeks I'll show you a bit of those photos. The photo of the day is a reflection in a rearview mirror on a scooter parked outside a building on Frederiksholms Kanal in Copenhagen. It shows two reliefs of the two sculptors H.V. Bissen and his son Wilhelm Bissen.

Best Blog Thinker Award



I got quite a surprise today, Catherine Mark-Beasant awarded me the Best Blog Thinker Award. It's always nice to be noticed, especially by a great blogger like Cathrine. So now I've got to try to live up to this honor. I will of course continue with my themes and daily posts with the odd digression when I've stumbled on something worthy.

Having said that, I realized that I had to include something in this post and I found the photos above, recently taken on one of my walks. The statue is called Youth On Horse and is by Vilhelm Bissen, a Danish sculptor and son of Herman Wilhelm Bissen. It's from 1903 and can be found in the North West of Copenhagen near Bellahøj. The mask, party hat and scarf are of newer date:-)
