iPhone fun in Copenhagen

I have posted quite a few shots from my Copenhagen trip already, but I just realized I had not shared anything from there that was done on my iPhone. So, today's post is just a few of the many iPhone shots I took recently in Copenhagen. I hope you like them, because there's a lot more still to share!

Leaving the office one afternoon...

I loved these clouds. This was at the park pretty close to St. Alban's Church and the Little Mermaid statue...

The historic city center is beautiful, but does not offer much of a skyline. I walked to this bridge one day to get the broad view of the town, and of course I took a few shots...

I have always loved signs. This one hung over a restaurant at Nyhavn, my favorite spot in Copenhagen. I had to zoom a bit, and there wasn't great light (two things that create some challenges when shooting with an iPhone) but I thought it came out pretty good!

And of course, I have to toss in a shot of Nyhavn. It's just incredible. I have a million shots from here, so I hope you don't mind seeing this place again (and again, and again...)!

Thanks so much for stopping by today, and have a great weekend!!

Sunset at the river's bend

Just a little sunset shot I took in Austin, from the lookout over the Loop 360 Bridge.  Everyone shoots the bridge - including me - but if you are ever there, be sure and shoot away from the bridge too!

Sunrise can be magical

I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning.  ~ J.B. Priestly

If I had to classify myself, I would fall in the camp of "a morning person".  I'm not the "jump out of bed with a fire in my belly" type, but I do enjoy the mornings.  It feels good to start anew.  So of course, that flows over into my photography.  Everybody loves a sunset - I mean, sunsets are the famous images people always chase - but I for one vote for sunrise, because there can be magic there, too.  Plus, most folks are still in bed, so you normally get to enjoy it by yourself, and that makes it just a little bit more awesome.  So sleep on world, I have photos to take.  I'll catch you when I get back.  :)

St. Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna

 

Vienna, Austria is an incredible town - some day I would like to spend a little time there!  :)  I passed through it rather quickly a couple of weeks back, just enough to whet my appetite for this lovely town and all that it has to offer.  I did find a little time to shoot, mostly early one morning as is often the case.  But that's ok, because when you can walk around a nice European city like Vienna and have it all to yourself...well, that's just awesome.

Nyhavn afternoon

Nyhavn is just the most beautiful spot in Copenhagen, according to me.  :)  I loved it there.  On my first full day there, I got up and spent the entire day wandering all across the town, shooting all sorts of things that were on my list of "must see" spots.  I always create a list, just to make sure I don't miss anything.  It keeps me organized, and sane.

I had been out for hours and at some point found myself near Nyhavn (which I had shot at sunset the previous night!), and just had to come by and see it again.  I think I made 3 trips through Nyhavn during my stay in Copenhagen, so I have a lot of shots from here, taken at different times of day and differing viewpoints.  I like doing that when I find a place I love, so that way I feel like I didn't miss anything!
