During week 45, following my father's death, I spent much of my time 
making arrangements of various sorts. But I also made it a point to go 
to the places my father and I used to visit together, and the resulting 
pictures are snaps from some of our favourite places in and around 
Copenhagen.

First, Str?get, the main pedestrian street. These two girls were just 
chilling out in the morning (the drink next to them is nothing more than 
chocolate milk):

The next two pictures are from beaches south of the city. First, Jersie 
Strand:

and then Br?ndby Strand, which was actually where my father lived:

The best place to buy fish in Copenhagen is directly from the fishermen. 
We used to go to Drag?r, a small fishing village near Copenhagen 
airport. These fishermen are horsing around a bit after having come back 
from the night's fishing, sold off the catch and finished the other 
morning tasks:

A group of kindergarten children were visiting the harbour, and one of 
the fishermen showed them a small crab:

Back in center city, on a street called Gammel Strand. This street is 
one of my favourites because it has two important Copenhagen landmarks: 
Fotografisk Center, where there is usually an interesting exhibit to 
see; and a beer store which has by far the best selection of microbrews 
and Belgian beer in Denmark. What I spotted was this non-traditional 
mermaid:

Outside a suburban shopping center (Glostrup) where we often went:

And finally, a little piece of England in the middle of Copenhagen, the 
Anglican Church, situated next to fortifications built in the 19th 
century, in what is today called Churchill Park (it is not far from the 
Little Mermaid):
