The oldest habour in Copenhagen on a beautiful september afternoon.
Nyhavn was constructed by King Christian V from 1670 to 1675, dug by Swedish prisoners of war from the Dano-Swedish War 1658–1660. It is a gateway from the sea to the old inner city at Kongens Nytorv (King's Square), where ships handled cargo and fishermens' catch. It was notorious for beer, sailors, and prostitution. Danish author Hans Christian Andersen lived at Nyhavn for some 18 years.
The first bridge across Nyhavn opened on 1874. It was a temporary wooden footbridge. It was replaced by the current bridge in 1912.[1]
As ocean-going ships grew larger, Nyhavn was taken over by internal Danish small vessel freight traffic. After World War II land transport took over this role and small vessel traffic disappeared from the Port of Copenhagen, leaving Nyhavn largely deserted of ships.
In the mid-1960s, the Nyhavn Society (Danish: Nyhavnsforeningen) was founded with the aim of revitalising the area. In 1977, Nyhavn was inaugurated as a veteran ship and museum harbour by Copenhagen's Lord Mayor Egon Weidekamp. In 1980 Nyhavn quay was pedestrianised; it had been used as a parking area in the previous years which had coincided with a dwindling of harbour activities.
The northern side of Nyhavn is lined by brightly coloured townhouses built with wood, bricks, and plaster. The oldest house, at No. 9, dates from 1681.
Between 1845 and 1864, Hans Christian Andersen lived at No. 67.
Happy Macro Monday!
Today, we did a short tromp through Brown-Lowery Provincial Park. It's about a half hours' drive from Calgary, and preserves some lovely foothills scenery. We walked 10 km's return distance, but surprisingly we did gain around 300 m's with all the ups and downs! They have several gorgeous fields of Fireweed in the park, and while there were many in bloom, it hadn't really peaked yet. Often, we get a lot of great mushrooms growing here, but we only saw a few on this walk. The proliferation of butterflies, however, made up for that.

I cannot say "no carrots were harmed in taking this photo" as they were eaten an hour or two later!

I couldn’t resist: a nice heathery foreground against the dramatic mountain skyline, shot in between sandwiches at lunch.

This is a beautiful Art Deco bowl turned upside down on a piece of velvet. This bowl belonged to my grandmother and then my mother. It was the go to popcorn bowl when I was a kid. Red/Green ~ Complementary Colours. HMM!
Red/Green Complementary Colors - taken in dark room on the surface of an iPad with a moving light source, macro expansion tube, and a little Lightroom trickery.
Henri Matisse said, “Creativity takes courage.” This art exhibit stopped Joe in his tracks. Was it the complimentary colors? Was it the beautiful stand upon which the artist balanced these particular letters? There is no definitive answer in art.
Quick visit to the garden centre this afternoon to pick up some pretties :)
This is normally the colour I go for - I love the purple yellow combination - but I found some nice orange tones to bring home, so I just took a snap of these.
The worn and bleached ball of Jeannie - it sits usually in the garden and suffers from UV radiation. Not clean.
