Copenhagen ❤️
The spiral tower of Church of Our Saviour (Vor Frelsers Kirke) in Christianshavn, Copenhagen, rising above the top of an old brick building with rows of white windows. The evening sky in the background is pale blue.

Nice walk yesterday morning to have a peek at Bølgen (The Wave) apartments in Vejle.

Snow day today in Denmark. Spent a beautiful afternoon at Louisiana Museum north of Copenhagen. This is the view from the gardens — on a clear day you can see Sweden across the sound.
A small snow covered dock jutting out into the sea, with snowy bushes to the left on the shore. The sea snd sky are grey, the snow is bright white.

Big skies and snow at the beach this afternoon
A view along the shore of a beach with patchy snow on the sand to the left and blue water on the right. The sky in the top half of the photo is blue with thin streaky clouds.

Me at the end of my first day at my new job as Senior Researcher at the Dictionary of Old Norse Prose — part of the Arnamagnæan Institute at the Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics, University of Copenhagen.

Under that layer of jet lag fatigue, I’m really happy!
I (a young woman with long hair and and a slight smile, wearing a light brown sweater and tortoise shell glasses) am standing in front of a sign that says in Danish “Den Arnamagnæanske Samling”; there is also an image of medieval manuscripts on the sign.
