I really enjoy your photos. At times, they are like paintings.
The last last shot immediately reminded me of Edvard Munch’s “The Scream”, a painting I’ve always enjoyed.
The colors and set up are both visually striking and closely related.

My father was an artist in his spare time. He had become a good art forger lol. I have to see at some point if I can fine some photos of his copy works. I was often with my father out in nature and watching him paint or make tus connections of nature. Unfortunately, I have not gained those abilities…He rode around the city with his paintings on a bid bike and sold them to the citizen of our city lol

One can walk the streets of Manhattan and find vendors selling works of “art” and handmade crafts of all kinds. Some are originals, others are copies. This sort of thing allows “regular” folks the opportunity to enjoy the artistic beauty, creativity and skills of others. Even a good copy of a painting is better than nothing. Enjoy!
Regards,
Mark

My children are confirmed in the castle church…
Gråsten Castle Church in the north wing was inaugurated in 1699. The building itself dates from 1604. Until 1699, the building was used as a barn and stable. Today, the church is the largest baroque church north of the Alps. The church is the only one that, with the two pavilions on either side of the church, is left of Ahlefeldt’s old castle. The interior of the church is based on the idea of the Jesuit Church in Antwerp. It was heavily included during the Schleswig wars. The church room is richly decorated with a large, pompous altarpiece and approx. 80 paintings. Gråsten Castle Church contains an altar cloth sewn by Queen Ingrid. The altar cloth covers that a soldier during the Three Years’ War engraved King Frederik VII’s coat of arms in the altar and a snake with a “pickle hat”. Above it is “Duke Traitor”. Gråsten Parish uses the castle church as a parish church. Services, weddings and concerts are held here. Funerals take place from the chapel in the cemetery. During the summer period, the church is open to the public every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday from 2 pm to 4 pm (but not during church services).

Listened to that match in the car (was driving most of the day). Also listened to 3 hours of preview bigging up Wales, they played OK for 15 minutes and then fell apart. Well done Denmark.
I used to go every week as a kid (Spurs), my dad is 83 and still goes regularly. My son supports Chelsea so I went there for a while. I was never much in to football, oddly our best friends are heavily involved (her dad managed Anderlecht, he played for Liverpool and Spurs and other teams). We only live 10 minutes from Wembley, I can probably open the window and listen to the game tonight!

I’m not that much into football. But I had won two VIP tickets with food etc. It was a hair ride. We only had to be in the Netherlands for 12 hours due to the virus. It’s little me in that photo. I was the target duck on the Danish water polo team … it is a few days ago lol … So I hope you can beat the Germans … Good fight
This picture cries out for a caption.
