Real Estate at Lille Vega

A few photos from a gig at Lille Vega last night by Real Estate from New York. Check out some of their tunes here and here.

Bits and bobs

As I am waiting to develop a bunch of rolls of film from the last few months, I thought I would show some random photos from autumn that didn't seem to fit in anywhere else....a little mix of everything.

Exploring Tivoli.

Foraging with Venus.

Exploring Sunday markets.

Finding cozy shops in cute backhouses.

We are heading off on an adventure to India next week andvery much looking forward to some sunshine and relaxation.

Song of the day: Strange Mercy, St. Vincent

Copenhagen edulis: Coffee Collective at Torvehallerne

This is where most of my monthly coffee budget goes, to The Coffee Collective. They opened a location in Copenhagen's new market, Torvehallerne, where they have a one of a kind espresso machine from Kees van der Westen called 'Spirit'. But, I still prefer their cozier location on Jægersborggade.

Summer's last sunset

Here are a few photo's from our last summer-like day a few weeks back. Tora and I took a stroll around Christianshavn and then into Christania where there were lots of people taking in the festivities for its 40th birthday.

Tal Uf Tal Ab, Robert Frank

Recently browsing one of my favorite London book sellers (Magma Books), I purchased a small photo collection titled Tal Uf Tal Ab by Robert Frank. He is well known for his lifetime in film and photography, including his infamous Rolling Stones tour documentary (link), his photo collection The Americans and work with the likes of Harper's Bazaar and Vogue.

To my surprise , I found in his biography that he chose to settle down in Mabou, Cape Breton Island (my home). In Tal Uf Tal Ab, he captures little bits of his life in Cape Breton and New York.

Sweden I (Country Life)

We recently travelled to the countryside in southern Sweden to visit Tora's father. It is always a nice break from city life and makes for some great photography. I think Swedish country homes are cozy and I love the distinct 'falu red' paint. And, of course it is only made cozier with some some freshly foraged hazlenuts and a peach pie.

Song of the day: I Walked, Sufjan Stevens

A day on the water

Today, just a few shots from a day on the water in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Halifax still holds a place in my heart as it was my first real move away from home. I think Halifax is still somewhat 'undiscovered' but everyone that visits seems to fall in love with the city. I think Tora captures the essence of Halifax life here.
