The light of Copenhagen
What struck me most in Copenhagen were not the delicious Danish pastries, not the laid back people, not the view, not the beautiful ceramics, but the blue skies and bright light. They say the light in Venice – Italy is the best, but oh boy: Copenhagen your light is amazing! I kept looking up and Read article…
