Punks in the Square #1

It was 8 days into the work trip around the world when I got to Copenhagen, Denmark. I was only there for a solid day, so I made several trips around the beautiful city.

On my third trip in that day, I had the 50mm Summicron DR on. It was a little bigger of a lens, so it was more difficult to stow the camera, so I just wore it out. Looking at these images compared to the shots taken w/ the new 35mm summicron asph, this 30 year old 50 is razor sharp in the center, but a little soft on the edges...but I love it!

 

Luck would have it, when I stumbled on to a HUGE peace march with (from what I could tell) Religious people and hard core punks. I followed what sounded like a concert crowd, and there before me were lines of police, and crowds of punks, and spirited Danish teens. Had a hard time understanding, but as usual, I found myself hanging out with the punks.

 

The March was over, and it ended in the main square in Copenhagen. After it picked up to a wild party tone, it ended faster than it began. I was about out of film, and could hardly understand a word anyone was saying to me... I rolled the film out on the remaining group, and went back to the hotel to pack for Munich, and have a beer.
